- 2 large eggs

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

- 1 cup of jelly or jam (such as strawberry or raspberry)

*Instructions:*

1. *Preheat the oven:* Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

2. *Make the cake batter:* In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the batter is smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

3. *Divide the batter:* Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

4. *Bake the cakes:* Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

5. *Cool the cakes:* Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. *Make the jelly filling:* In a small saucepan, heat the jelly or jam over low heat until it is smooth and runny.

7. *Assemble the cake:* Once the cakes are cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of jelly filling on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with your preferred frosting.
