Orange Marmalade Cake

This Orange Marmalade cake is so delicious, the citrusy flavor bursts in your mouth, it tastes like summer! I love it as it’s not too sweet. The slightly bitter taste from the orange rind gives it more depth of flavor.

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

4 tablespoons coarse sugar or turbinado sugar

2 medium size oranges, washed and sliced as thin as possible – I have used 1 medium orange and 1 small blood orange

Juice and zest of 2 medium oranges – Optional: I have added 1/2 teaspoon of organic orange essence

200 grams (7 oz) unsalted butter and a little extra to grease the pan

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs, beaten

6 tablespoons orange marmalade

200 grams (7 oz) all purpose flour

50 grams (1.75 oz) almond meal/flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C
• Melt a little butter and brush the bottom and side of a 9″ springform pan.
• Sprinkle the coarse sugar all over the bottom of the pan and arrange the slices of oranges, by overlapping them to cover the bottom
• Mix the butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale yellow. Add 3 tablespoons of the orange marmalade and the beaten eggs, whisk until well blended. With a spatula, fold in the flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, orange juice, zest and orange essence if using. Stir till smooth but do not over blend.
• Spoon the batter over the sliced oranges and with the spatula, make an even surface. Bake at 350 degrees for around 50 to 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set.
• Remove from the oven and after cooling for 5-10 minutes, remove the sides from the springform pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate. Carefully remove the bottom of the pan to reveal the orange slices.
• Put the remaining 3 tablespoons of marmalade in a small bowl with 1-1/2 tablespoon of water (optional: I use an orange flavor liquor like Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead of water), and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds.
• Spread the warm glaze over the slices oranges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
