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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Sift in the self-raising flour and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.

Step 5

Stir in the orange zest, milk, and orange marmalade until evenly combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

When the cake is fully cool, spoon the marmalade glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.

Step 11

Slice and serve your delicious marmalade cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
