Marmalade Cake is a simple cake recipe made gorgeous by the addition of orange marmalade. If you have been to my website before you may know that several of the cake recipes come from my Grandmother's handwritten recipe book - such as Date And Walnut Cake. Sprinkle the base of the cake tin with demerara sugar, then arrange the orange slices over the base in a slightly overlapping layer. A loaf cake is really all about the flavour, and not the decoration.
Steps to make Marmalade Cake:
- Preheat oven to 150 C/ 300°F
- Butter and line 2* 8 inch cake pans with baking parchmemt
- In a stand mixer bowl or with an electric hand mixer, beat the oil, eggs and sugars until light and fluffy
- Sift in the cinnamin, nutmeg, baking soda and flour, and mix in with a metal spoon until muxture looks smooth.
- Add the other cake ingredients and mix well.
- Divide mixture between the two pans.
- Bake both cakes on the middle shelf for 30-35 minutes.
- To make the syrup, put the juice, sugar and marmalade in a small saucepan, simmer until all melted, then take off the heat, but keep warm.
- Set up a wire rack with something laid underneath it to catch any spilled syrup (kitchen paper or a cloth)
- Take cakes out of the oven and while still wsrm use a skewer to poke holes all over both cakes, then spoon the syrup over the two cakes.
- Allow cakes to cool completely
- To make the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy, add the zest and juice, the marmalade and mix in.
- Mix in the confectioner's sugar. If it splits, don't panic, just keep beating it for a few minutes until it comes back together
- Place the first cake top down on a serving plate or cake dish.
- Spread the reserved marmalade over the base, then spread on the filling (I had enough frosting to do the top of the cake aswell, but if you don't, you can just decorate the top with some orange zest or candied orange peel).
- Place the second cake on top, as usual.
- If you can, try keeping this cake for a few days as apparently it only gets better! :)
Don't spend ages worrying about the looks, and that this cake doesn't look like an entry for the village fete best decorated cake competition; just enjoy the taste. It's best to wait a while before pouring the marmalade drizzle on top; the cake wants to be warm enough to absorb the drizzle, but not so hot that it gets. The glazing of the top with marmalade with the addtional sprinkling of grated orange peel gave it a wonderful flavour. The texture was very good and it came out nicely moist. Stir the marmalade mixture into the flour mixture, then spoon into the loaf tin.
