Scrumptious Raspberry Cake - Läcker hallontårta

SCRUMPTIOUS RASPBERRY CAKE
Läcker hallontårta

Keep it simple, a world-famous chef once said, and that's often the best. To make this fantastic cake you don't need a lot of time or ingredients - just what you normally keep in your pantry plus some kind of jam.

Makes 1 cake

3½ oz butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
butter or margarine plus
dried breadcrumbs for the baking pan
1/3 cup raspberry jam


Stir fat and sugar until white and fluffy. Add the egg and stir vigorously. Mix flour with baking powder and stir this into the egg mixture.

Spread out about 3/4 of the dough in a greased, floured baking pan, diameter approx 9 inches. Add the jam and put remaining dough in dollops on top of the jam. Bake in the oven at 390F for about 35 minutes or until done. Try with a stick.

Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream.

This cake is excellent for freezing whole and ready-made, so make several at a time and heat them up until crisp in the oven before serving.

Enjoy!
