Description

This no-mixer cake captures the best parts of a jelly doughnut — the jam-filled center, the delightfully messy sugar coating, and the irresistible flavor of a fried treat — but in a much simpler form. Each slice has a beautiful stripe of raspberry jam and a crunchy sugary shell that clings to the cake with the help of melted butter and, for a hint of fried flavor, olive oil. For the full doughnut effect, decorate each slice with a little dab of jam and serve with hot coffee.This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for December 2025.
