If you think oil is a more suitable option, feel free to use it for the test. The proportions of the products in this case are the same.

Preparation of a simple test

Mix in a bowl an egg with sugar, lightly beating the mass. Add melted margarine, stir well. The mass will look like a suspension of small flakes. Add vanilla and soda, and then pour the flour portionwise, stirring constantly. Very quickly the dough will begin to be easily assembled in a lump that will be well warmed up by hands. Knead it, wrap it in a food film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Chopped dough

You can prepare the dough a little differently. Margarine or oil should be kept in the freezer. When the fatty base freezes, grate it on a grater in a bowl with flour. Then add the egg, sugar, the rest of the ingredients. Ready dough, too, must be kept in the refrigerator for half an hour before starting to form a grated cake with jam.

If you use jam or jam with a lot of syrup, tarnish its surface with starch - it will need about a tablespoon. Take out the rest of the dough and form the upper curly cake.
