Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 20 x 30cm baking or roasting tin and line with baking parchment. To make the sponge batter, beat the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract in a large bowl with an electric whisk until lump-free. Spoon into the tin and bake for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Quickly dot over the jam, scatter over the almonds, then bake for 15-20 mins more until golden and risen and a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then dust with icing sugar.

I used apricot jam and it was delicious. Everyone at my large family party loved it, so it's a definite now in my repertoire. from other comments, I think it's important to use the right tin size
