Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  7. Spoon the jelly over the batter in dollops.
  8. Carefully pour the remaining batter over the jelly.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
