Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • cups granulated sugar
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ¾ cup of your favorite jam or preserves such as Quick Blackberry-Blueberry Jam or Apricot

For Topping

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until everything is just combined.
  • Carefully transfer half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Spoon the Quick Blackberry-Blueberry Jam or Apricot Jam into the center of the batter in the pan.
  • Pipe the remaining batter on top of the jam and smooth it with an offset spatula.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, covering with foil during the last 10minutes to prevent excess browning.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, gently slide a spatula around the edges and flip it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Topping

  • Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Brush the top and sides of the cake with melted butter, then sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top and press it into the sides of the cake.
  • Once the topping is applied, allow the cake to set before slicing and serving.
