Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 200 grams self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 orange orange zest
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade (for glaze)
- 100 grams powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Sift in the self-raising flour and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.
Stir in the orange zest, milk, and orange marmalade until evenly combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the additional orange marmalade, powdered sugar, and orange juice in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
When the cake is fully cool, spoon the marmalade glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
Slice and serve your delicious marmalade cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
