Orange Marmalade Cake

We love looking through foodie magazines, Delicious, Olive, BBC Good Food, Tesco, Waitrose; you name it we’ve got them all!

When we saw this recipe in the Tesco food magazine we had to make it, it looked delicious and the perfect cake for a rainy day. We adapted the recipe slightly as we didn’t have wholemeal flour so just replaced with plain instead, and sadly didn’t make our own marmalade; however Tesco Finest marmalade tasted fantastic!

2) Whisk the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
3) Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined. Add a teaspoon of the flour if necessary to stop the mixture curdling

5) Bake for 50 minutes covering with foil for the last 15 minutes
6) Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, warm the marmalade in pan
7) Put on a wire rack and brush the cake with the marmalade and then decorate with orange slices and then brush more marmalade over the cake

Enjoy!
