Ingredients

For the cake

120 g unsalted butter - allowed to soften
100 g caster sugar
2 eggs - lightly beaten
120 g plain flour
pinch salt
1 ½ tsp baking powder
3 tbsp Seville orange marmalade
2 tbsp milk

For the icing

1 tbsp marmalade
50 g icing sugar
1 tbsp warm water

Instructions

For the cake

Preheat oven to 160°C (fan)/ 320°F/gas mark 4. Butter a 15cm/6" loaf tin, and line with baking parchment/silicone paper.
Beat the butter with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture lightens in colour and becomes fluffy
Beat in the eggs. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder well in a separate bowl, and add to the butter, sugar and egg mixture. Fold in the flour. Add the marmalade and milk, and fold in as well.
Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and spread. Bake for about 50 – 55 mins until golden brown and firm to the touch, and when a cocktail stick is poked into the cake it comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then run a round blade knife round the inside of he tin and turn out onto a wire rack.

For the sticky marmalade glaze

Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add the warm water and mix. Stir in the marmalade. Spoon the mix over the cake, letting it run down the sides. Leave to set before cutting.

Notes

Keep an eye on the cake whilst it is baking and once it is golden brown loosely cover with foil to stop it over browning, for the rest of the cooking time.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
