  • Add the oil little by little beating.
  • Now add flour little by little, baking powder and vanilla.
  • Complete the preparation by adding the milk (always little by little).
  • Turn on the oven in fan setting at 170°C.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured 22 cm cake tin and level with a spatula.

Notes

  • Always use room temperature eggs – they beat up much better!
  • You can use your favorite jam: either the same one for the base and the spiral, or two different ones! Keep in mind that dark-colored jams (blackberries, blueberries) give the dessert a bluish color.
