Ingredients (for the cake):
- 150g sugar
- Zest of one orange
- 125g margarine or butter
- 3 eggs
- 175g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 50g marmalade
- 2 tablespoons milk
Ingredients (for the icing, optional):
- 50g icing sugar, sifted
- 2-3 teaspoons cold water
Method:
- Rub the orange zest into the sugar.
- Beat the orange sugar and margarine together until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs.
- Stir in the flour and baking powder (sifting optional).
- Add the marmalade.
- Add the milk.
- Grease a 1.5lb loaf tin and line it with greaseproof paper. Pour the mixture into the tin, using the back of a spoon to spread the mixture into an even layer.
- Bake at 180°C for 45-50 minutes. When it has been in the oven for 20 minutes, cover it with foil to prevent the top of the cake from burning.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, and add a teaspoon of water at a time until the mixture is smooth but not too runny.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack before drizzling it with icing.
