This walnut sheet cake with jam comes together in one bowl in five minutes. The batter contains no eggs or butter—just sugar, all-purpose flour, water, ground nuts, four tablespoons of jam, baking powder, and baking soda. Bake it for 30 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F), then spread with jam as soon as it comes out of the oven and optionally sprinkle with crushed walnuts. Cut the cake into eight servings.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Combine the sugar, flour, water, 6 tablespoons of ground walnuts, 4 tablespoons of homemade jam, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Bake for 30 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F).
- Spread the baked cake with jam and sprinkle with crushed walnuts, if desired.
Tip: Pour the batter into the pan immediately after mixing, as the baking soda and baking powder start working as soon as they are moistened. Let the cake cool before slicing, since the egg-free cake crumbles easily while warm.
