Ingredients

  • 2 Oranges one sliced thinly, one for zest and juice
  • 50 g Demerara Sugar
  • 175 g Butter at room temp
  • 175 g Caster sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 220 g Self Raising Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 125 g Orange Marmalade
  • 75 ml Orange juice see above
  • 75 g caster sugar

Instructions

  • Pre-Heat the oven to Gas 4 / 180C
  • Grease a 2lb / 900g loaf tin
  • Sprinkle the base of the greased loaf tin with the Demerara Sugar
  • Thinly slice one of the oranges - and place along the bottom of the loaf tin - slightly overlapping (see picture) - you probably won't need all the orange
  • Cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy
  • Add one egg at a time beating well, don't worry if it curdles a little just keep mixing and add a tablespoon of the flour.
  • Squeeze the remaining bit of orange juice into your cake mix and add your zest
  • Then add the baking powder and flour, mix well Finally stir in the marmalade - mix through
  • Pop mix into tin, smooth top and bake on the middle shelf for approx. 40 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean  - watch the top make sure it doesn't burn - if it browns too quickly pop a piece of foil loosely over then top
  • Whilst it bakes, make the syrup by pouring the orange juice and caster sugar into a pan and heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved - set aside
  • Remove from oven and leave in the tin to cool slightly (10 minutes)
  • Very carefully tip out onto a wire tray Leave to cool for a further 10 minutes
  • Skewer the cake and drizzle the orange / sugar syrup over the top
  • Then enjoy warm with custard, cream or ice-cream or cold with a cuppa!
