Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp strawberry jam, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 to 2 tbsp milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, jam, and milk until smooth.
  2. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
  4. Whisk powdered sugar, jam, vanilla, and milk until smooth and drizzly. Spoon over the cooled cake. Let set 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For the prettiest pink color, use a seedless, smooth strawberry jam. If your jam is chunky, press it through a sieve before measuring to keep the batter and glaze even.
