250g butter

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

4 tsp Baking powder

4 cups flour

2 eggs

Strawberry or apricot jam

1/4 cup oil

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a Baking Tray with a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs and oil until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do it by hand with a wooden spoon.
Add the vanilla essence and mix it into the butter-sugar mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the baking powder and flour.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring well after each addition. The mixture will become crumbly.
Spread the dough evenly onto the greased baking tray, pressing it down to form a smooth, even layer.
Spread a layer of strawberry or apricot jam over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Grate remaining dough over the jam
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the Jam Tart to cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut the tart into squares or rectangles and serve.

Note: You can adjust the baking time according to your oven's temperature and the desired level of browning. Enjoy your delicious jam tart!
