Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar

- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam or strawberry jam
- 2 cups whipped cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

- Pour the chocolate ganache or chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
