Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch spring form pan with baking spray.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add in the dry ingredients Little by little. Mix until just absorbed.

Pour 1 1/4 cups of batter into the pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until firm.

Spread the cherry jam over the cake, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border all around. Cover the jam with another 1 1/4 cups of batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Feel the center to make sure it’s firm.

Spread the apricot or peach jam over the baked cake leaving a 1 1/2 inch border. Cover with the remaining batter. Top with the sliced almonds if using. Bake for 20 minutes.

Optional:

  1. Warm the 2 tablespoons of jam over low heat and brush the top of the cake.
  2. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
