Orange Marmalade Cake | Orange Loaf Cake | Moist, Zesty and Sticky

So here’s a new cake for you –  Easy Sticky Orange Marmalade Cake – which I always make in a loaf tin (I love a loaf cake) Marmalade Glazed Orange Cake for emergencies too. It is subtly sweet with a bright citrus flavor, perfect for pairing with a good, strong cuppa. The sticky Marmalade Glaze adds extra citrusy flavor to this orange cake. If you choose to omit it, the flavor will be less sharp.

Ingredients

3 eggs

80 g of sugar

250 g of thick cut orange marmalade

100 ml of sunflower oil

200 g self-raising flour

80 ml of water with 2 teaspoon of orange essence

Add 250 g of thick cut orange marmalade with the sunflower oil.

Then, add the self-raising flour a little at a time.

When the batter is quite dense, add the mix of water and orange essence and keep mixing.

Pour the mixture into a greased 20 cm mold.

Bake in a ventilated oven, preheated to 170°C for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

While the cake is cooling down, prepare the glaze to cover it.

Break the dark chocolate bar in small pieces and place them in a clear glass bowl. 

Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until totally smooth.

Heat the single cream in a saucepan, without letting it come to a boil.

Pour it into the bowl with the melted chocolate ad add glucose syrup and butter.

Emulsify the mixture with a hand blender.

When the temperature of the glaze  is around 25-30°C, pour it onto the cake.

Complete the decoration with some glace orange peel.
