Tips for a perfect Jam Crumb Cake:

  • Use fresh or homemade jam: Fresh or homemade jam will have a brighter flavor and a better consistency than store-bought jam.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
