3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1/4 cup apricot jam
1/4 cup preserves (any flavor)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the chopped nuts, if desired. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cake is cool, use a knife to cut the cake in half horizontally. Spread the raspberry jam on the bottom half of the cake, followed by the apricot jam. Top the jam with the remaining cake half and spread the preserves over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the white and dark chocolate chips over the preserves.
