Marmalade Cake
Ingredients:
250ml water
220g sultanas (previously soaked in some alcohol if possible)
50g butter
220g orange marmalade.
150g sugar
3 eggs, beaten until fluffy.
300g self raising flour.
Pinch salt.
Method:
Put the water, sultanas, butter and marmalade into a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil.
Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar and leave to cool.
Mix in the eggs and then fold in the flour and salt.
Place in a silicone loaf mould and cook in a preheated oven 180C, Gas 4 for 45 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 165C, Gas 3, cover with a double layer of foil and cook for up to a further 60 minutes.
Check that the cake has reached about 95C or a skewer comes out clean before removing from oven to cool and turn out.
My Tips:
This cake was still moist a week later and had a subtle orange flavour – the sultanas sank a bit but nothing’s perfect!
