FAQ:
1. Can I use store-bought jam? Yes, store-bought jam works perfectly for this recipe. You can choose your favorite flavor, whether it's strawberry, raspberry, apricot, or even fig.
2. Can I freeze this cake? Absolutely! The Everyday Jam Cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and store it in an airtight container. Let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
3. Can I make this cake without eggs? Yes! You can replace the eggs with flax eggs or another egg substitute. For each egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken before adding it to the wet ingredients.
4. How can I adjust the sweetness of the cake? If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the sugar in the recipe by ¼ cup. Since the jam already adds sweetness, this can help balance the flavor to your liking.
