Old School Jam & Coconut Cake

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• Self-Raising Flour
• Butter
• Caster sugar
• Jam
• Dessicated coconut

Instructions:

1. Weigh the Eggs:
   • Start by weighing the eggs in their shells. This will determine the quantities of the other ingredients.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, add in the same weight of butter and caster sugar as the eggs. Cream them together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
3. Incorporate the Flour:
   • Add in the same weight of self-raising flour as the eggs. Carefully fold the flour into the butter and sugar mixture until everything is well combined. Be gentle to maintain a light and airy texture.
4. Baking:
   • Preheat your oven to 170/180°C (340/360°F).
   • Transfer the cake batter into a lined cake tin, ensuring it's spread evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cooling:
   • Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin before proceeding to the next step.
6. Adding the Jam & Coconut:
   • Once the cake is cool, spread a generous layer of jam over the top. You can use your favorite jam flavor.
   • Sprinkle dessicated coconut evenly on top of the jam layer. The coconut will adhere to the jam.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Slice and serve your Old School Jam & Coconut Cake. It's a delightful, nostalgic treat that pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
