Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 oranges
- 175g self-raising flour
- 175g unsalted butter, softened
- 175g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- Zest of 1 orange
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 50g orange marmalade
- 100g powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
-
Grate the zest of the oranges and squeeze out the juice. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a tablespoon of flour with each egg to prevent curdling.
-
Mix in the orange zest and juice.
-
Sift in the flour and baking powder and gently fold into the mixture until well combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is still warm, heat the orange marmalade and brush it over the top to create a glaze.
-
Leave the cake to cool completely in the tin before transferring to a serving plate.
-
To make the icing, mix the powdered sugar with enough orange juice to create a thick but pourable consistency.
-
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake and serve.
