Nice light, chocolate flavor to the cake and moist. When I made it the jam settled to the bottom while baking. Does anyone have any ideas for preventing that? Next time I make it I'll also try adding a half teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

I'm a beginner and I did my best to follow the recipe but the dough didn't rise. I wish these instructions were more beginner friendly. How warm (temperature) should the water be? How long should I beat the eggs.. just a little or until they are stiff? When will the dough be twice its size - after it has been sitting on the counter for an hour or do I have to wait the whole night? What is the minimum amount of time it has to be in the fridge? These instructions are lacking in detail.
