Bear Bites
Marmalade Cake
Ingredients
- 225g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100g soft margarine or softened butter
- 90g sugar
- 2 eggs (size 1)
- 3 large tbs orange marmalade
- Grated rind of 1 large orange
- Grated rind of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 5 (190°C or 375°F) and grease and/or line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin.
- Put all the ingredients into a food processor or mixer bowl and mix together for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Scrape down the sides and process for another 5 seconds or so to remove any marmalade rind still left whole.
- Tip into the prepared tin and smooth the top. You may, if you wish, spinkle with a little caster sugar just before baking.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- If the tin is particularly narrow and deep you may need to bake it for a little longer and protect the top as you do so with a piece of foil or baking parchment.
- Test with a skewer, which should come out absolutly clean if the cake is ready. Tip out to cool on a wire rack before slicing like a loaf.
