Ingredients:

600 grams flour

200 grams sugar

200 grams butter

4 eggs

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

1 can Quince Jelly (melted)

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and butter.

Add eggs and vanilla and form a dough.

Place 1/2 of the dough in a GREASED 9X13 pan, pressing so the dough forms a lip around the edges.

Pour melted Quince Jelly of top and spread over dough, leaving 1/2 inch exposed.

With remaining dough from a laddis and place on top or Quince Jelly. Make a long strip to decorate and finish the edges of the cake.

Bake @350 for 40-50 minutes.

Notes: I use a scale to measure out my ingredients. The dough is very easy to work with. Once baked the cake is pretty dry, its not a regular cake. We like to enjoy it with Mate (aka. Argentine Herbal Tea).
