Quick cake with "tea" jam


Pie with jam prepared very simply and quickly. The good thing is that you can use any jam that happens to be stale somewhere in the pantry and you don’t know where to apply it. The composition of the pie is so simple, its cost is extremely low, and the taste is excellent. The recipe, of course, is not dietary, but due to its simplicity and accessibility, it deserves some attention.

And even adherents of a healthy diet can sometimes afford a piece of such a pie without risk to the figure.

like this simple jam pie"I blinded from what was." And, as in the song, I really fell in love.

Ingredients: 0.5 cups of jam, 0.5 cups of sugar, 0.5 cups of strong tea leaves, 1 egg, 1 tsp. soda, 1 tbsp. butter (butter or ghee), 1.5 cups flour, a pinch of salt, spices as desired.

Pastries with jam

Preparation: mix jam with soda, then add sugar, egg, salt and oil to it and mix well. Add the brew and mix again. Pour flour in parts until the dough becomes thick enough, like sour cream.

Usually I add a third of the total amount of flour, in this case - 0.5 cups.

I also wanted to add some cardamom.

Pour the dough into a mold (I have a diameter of 20 cm) and put in an oven preheated to 180 C for about 30 minutes.

The finished cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar when serving. It is not always possible to understand by taste that jam is included in the composition of the pie. It is especially good to use dark and not very sweet jam.: it gives the cake a dark color and looks like a chocolate cake.

In my case, this is jam from grated chokeberry, which is not very sweet, so the pie turned out to be moderately sweet.

If you are using a very sweet jam, you can reduce the amount of sugar.

Sometimes, when I need to bake a slightly larger cake, I increase the amount of tea and jam to 0.75 cups, while adding more flour and keeping the rest of the ingredients the same amount. All these changes here are quite acceptable and not noticeable to the taste. The main thing is that the dough ends up with a thick consistency.

Instead of butter, I often use pork fat in baking - it is a 100% natural, odorless product that is great for these purposes.

If you use butter, I recommend only 82.5% fat - it is this kind of butter that is natural.

Bon appetit!
