Step by step
Get ahead
The cake keeps for up to a week in an airtight container.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C, fan 150°C, gas 3, and grease and line a 900g loaf tin (10cm x 20cm x 7cm) with baking paper.
- Beat the butter, sugar and orange zest in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, adding a tablespoon of flour if it begins to curdle. Mash the marmalade with a fork to loosen, then fold into the creamed mixture with the remaining flour, baking powder and soured cream until evenly mixed.
- Spread the cake mix in the tin, level the top and bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until the cake is golden, risen and a skewer comes out cleanly.
- Remove the cake from the oven, reserve 1 teaspoon of the topping marmalade and spread the remainder over the cake (you may need to mash the marmalade with a fork to loosen it). Leave in the tin to cool completely.
- Turn the cake out of the tin, peel off the baking paper and place on a wire rack. Mix the remaining teaspoon of marmalade with the icing sugar and enough orange juice to make a thick pouring icing. Drizzle over the top of the cake. Allow to set, then slice to serve.
