Ingredients

  • 200g unsalted butter, softened
  • 200g granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g raspberry jam
  • 200g chopped hazelnuts
  • 200g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
