Why You'll Love This Recipe
About the Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
Use unbleached for a cleaner taste. You can substitute whole wheat pastry flour for a nuttier flavor.
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
Organic cane sugar works well. For a deeper flavor, try coconut sugar.
2 teaspoons baking powder
Make sure it is fresh for best rise. If unsure, test a bit in water – it should fizz.
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fine sea salt is best. It balances the sweetness.
1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
Any milk works, but whole milk gives a richer crumb. Dairy-free? Use oat milk.
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
Melt and cool slightly. You can use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
1 large egg
Room temperature egg mixes more evenly. If you are out, use a flax egg.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pure vanilla is best. For a twist, use almond extract.
1/2 cup (120g) fruit jam or preserves
Choose your favorite – strawberry, raspberry, or apricot. You can also use lemon curd.
Tips & Tricks
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing develops gluten and makes the dessert tough. Fold until just combined.
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate flour measurement. If using cups, spoon flour into the cup and level it off.
- Let the dessert cool completely before adding the jam topping. Warm dessert will make the jam runny.
Pro Tips
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening.
3. Combine the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. The mixture should look creamy.
4. Make the batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir with a spatula until just moistened. Do not overmix – a few lumps are fine.
5. Pour into the pan
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake until golden
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges will pull away from the pan slightly.
7. Cool and add topping
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then spread the jam over the top. The warmth will help it melt slightly.
8. Slice and serve
Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the simple sweetness.
Delicious Variations
- Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a chocolate chip version.
- Swap the jam for fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Top with a crumble of oats, brown sugar, and butter before baking for a crunchy topping.
