360 Grams Plain flour
600 Grams caster sugar
1 Tsp Almond extract
226 Grams soft cream cheese
1/2 Tsp Vanilla extract
6 Large eggs
160 Grams Strawberry jam
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 180° Celsius.
- 2In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Using an electric whisker may help to speed this process up.
- 3Gradually add the sugar until light and fluffy and add the cream cheese, beating until creamy.
- 4Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- 5Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture. Beat just until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape the bowl as needed.
- 6Once combined, stir in the almond and vanilla extracts until evenly distributed.
- 7Now, pour one-third of the batter into the greased cake tin. And spoon 8 rounded teaspoonfuls of the strawberry jam over the batter, and swirl with a wooden skewer. Repeat this until all the batter has been added.
- 8Bake at 180° for 36 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
