Ingredients
For the cake
  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter (at room temp.)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temp.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole buttermilk recipe above
  • ½ cup berry jam of your choice whisked
For the almond crumb topping
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¾ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper, apply butter to the pan and set aside.

  3. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients; flour, baking powder and salt. Keep aside.

  4. Prepare wet ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar, and beat until combined.

  5. Beat in the eggs, followed by adding vanilla extract.
  6. Add the dry ingredients alternating with buttermilk and beat until they combine well.

  7. Prepare jam filling: Whisk the jam with a fork until it is slightly loose and spreadable. Keep it ready.

  8. Pour half the batter into the prepared baking pan and level it with a spatula. Pipe a portion of the remaining batter on top of it along the edge of the pan to create a well. Pour and spread the raspberry jam in the center.
  9. Pipe or pour the remaining batter on top of it to cover the jam, and smoothen with a spatula.

  10. Crumb topping: Whisk all the ingredients listed under crumb toppings, in a bowl. Sprinkle on top of the batter.

  11. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan, slice it and enjoy with a cup of coffee/tea.
Notes

1. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an air tight container for 3 to 4 days.
2. Grease your pan properly to avoid any cracks or holes in your cake. This helps the cake to slide through the sides of the pan easily.
3. Make sure to use butter, eggs and buttermilk which are at room temperature.
4. Do not open the oven in the middle of the baking process. This allows cool air to enter which affects the temperature and the baking.
