Icelandic Cake

Method

• step 1

  Pre heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.

• step 2

  Grease a large baking tin (at least 2 inches deep)

  Cover the jam layer evenly with the second half of the mixture. Push down slightly and ensure all the jam is covered.

  Cook at 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 for 30-40 minutes, until the top has turned a golden colour.
