To prepare a delicious and aromatic cake, the first step is to take care of the eggs and sugar. In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat the two ingredients well until you get a frothy and fluffy mixture of an intense yellow color. This will form the perfect base for our cake, bringing an airy texture.
Once we have obtained this foam, we gradually add the sunflower oil, water, and peach jam. The jam will not only provide a distinctive flavor but will also give the cake a pleasant moisture, making it softer and more flavorful. We mix continuously so that all the ingredients combine evenly. If you want to experiment, you can also use other types of jam, such as apricot or raspberry, to give a distinct note.
After we have well incorporated the liquid ingredients, it is time to take care of the dry ingredients. We sift together the flour and baking powder, ensuring that there are no lumps. This is an important step because sifting helps aerate the flour, giving the cake a fluffier texture. If you want an extra boost of flavor, add the grated lemon zest, which will provide a fresh and citrusy taste, balancing the sweetness of the jam.
We are now preparing the baking pan. We grease it with a little butter, ensuring it is well covered so that the cake does not stick. You can use a round bundt pan, which will give an elegant shape to the dessert, or two classic regular pans, depending on your preference. We carefully pour the mixture into the pan, leveling the surface well to achieve an even cake.
With the oven preheated to 180°C, we place the pan in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. It is essential to do the toothpick test by inserting it in the middle of the cake; if it comes out clean, then the dessert is ready. Once the cake has completely cooled, we can dust it with powdered sugar, giving it a special appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee, savoring its fluffy texture and inviting aromas!
