NutritionApproximate, per serving
Instructions
Crack the egg into a large bowl and add the sugar, oil, milk and jam. Whisk everything together thoroughly until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixed with the baking powder and cocoa (sift them first). Stir until you have a smooth, pourable batter without lumps.
Grease a large rimmed baking sheet (about 12×16 inches / 30×40 cm) and dust it with flour. Pour the batter evenly into the pan.
Scatter plenty of frozen fruit over the top (do not thaw it first). Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Test with a skewer, which should come out dry. Let the cake cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- For a Christmas flavor, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or gingerbread spice to the flour.
- Toss frozen fruit in a little flour before scattering it over the batter so it stays on top instead of sinking.
- Variations: glaze with melted chocolate and a little coconut oil, or fold a handful of chopped walnuts into the batter.
