How to Make Split Seconds

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan (approximately 8x8 inches).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Spread your favorite jam evenly over the batter.
  9. Top with the remaining batter, spreading it to cover the jam.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the Split Seconds cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
