Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).  Coat a 9 by 13-inch (23 cm by 33 cm) cake pan with nonstick spray, then line with parchment paper overhanging two sides.  Coat the parchment paper with nonstick spray and dust lightly with extra flour.

Whisk together the 2 ¾ cups (399 g) flour, salt and baking powder in a small bowl to aerate and combine.

Spread the jam evenly over the dough.

Drop small bits of the remaining dough evenly over the jam; it is okay if the jam peeks through here and there, but try to make it as evenly covered as possible.

Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with a few crumbs clinging.
