Muffin Jam Cake

Here's another great recipe in our TTDWAJOJ [Things to Do with a Jar of Jam] series.  And it's simple.

Pull out your favorite muffin recipe and make up the batter.

Layer half of the batter in a cake pan.

Spread a jar of jam over it.  [You might have to stir the jam well to thin it out enough to pour/spread easily.] If you have some jam that didn't gel completely, this is a great way to use it.

Spread on the rest of the batter.

Sprinkle with chopped nuts and honey or your favorite coffee cake or fruit crisp topping.

Bake at 350 until done - 35-45 minutes depending on your pan size. 

We made this one with an oatmeal muffin recipe and put cherry vanilla jam in the middle with finely chopped almonds and honey on the top.  Mmmmm.
