Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Dollop half of the jam on top of the batter in small spoonfuls, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the jam into the batter.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter and jam, spreading the batter evenly on top and swirling the remaining jam.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a pourable consistency.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set before serving.
