Marmelade Cake (hair of the dog)

Marmelade Cake

Fabulous with custard and a glass of wine for that hair of the dog.


What do we need:

100 gr softened butter
75 gr caster sugar
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons marmalade
1-2 teaspoons orande zest
150 gr. self-raising flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking powder



1. Preheat your oven to 180C. Prepare an 18cm cake tin.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, beating until it is light, pale and fluffy. Gradually add the egg, continuing to beat all the time.

3. Stir in the marmalade and orange zest. Mix the flour and baking powder together then fold into the cake mix, followed by enough milk to make a thick batter consistency. Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a caketester inserted into the centre comes out clean.

4. Allow the cake to cool for a couple of minutes in the tin, then turn out on to a rack to cool completely.


To decorate:

Ice it!

100 gr or more of icing sugar, some water and a couple of slices Orange peel.

To drink:

A nice glass of cool white Chardonnay.
