- Ingredients:
- 120g softened unsalted butter (allowed to soften)
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 120g plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp Orange Marmalade
- 2 tbsp milk
- 50g icing sugar

Cooking Method
Butter a 15cm loaf tin, and line it with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4.
Beat butter and sugar together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy.
Whisk the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture.
Sift the flour. Fold in the remaining dry ingredients – the flour, salt and baking powder.
Fold in 3 tbsp marmalade and milk. Work gently to form a batter.
Transfer the mixture to the loaf tin.Bake for around 55 minutes. Check after 40 minutes with a skewer. If the top has browned but the cake isn’t fully cooked, then cover it with foil.
Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add the warm water and mix. Stir in 1 tbsp marmalade. Spoon the mix over the cake, letting it run down the sides. Leave to set before cutting. Sprinkle over zest.
