I love jams and marmalades. I eat them every morning on bread, with my cup (ok, two) of tea. Except when there’s a cake. Or I decide to combine the two things and bake a cake like this, a soft cake variegated with jam. Lots of jam, of cherries, beautiful red that stands out in the dough.

But of course you can choose your favorite jam, it will still be delicious.

And then it is very simple, a cake that taste like home and calm breakfasts, to savor a bite at a time to gently shake off sleep. Or it is a perfect snack, with a glass of cold milk. And like all the variegated cake every time is different, every time you cut a slice you discover a new design. An excuse to do it and do it again, no?
