Marvellous Marmalade....

If like me you're not to keen on marmalade but often find a half empty jar stashed in the fridge I have a recipe for you, even better if you like cake:

• 225g self-raising flour
• 175g butter, at room temperature
• 175g caster sugar
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 150g thick-cut Seville orange marmalade, plus 2 tbsp extra to brush
• I think any orange marmalade would do, I used some Blood Orange marmalade in mine
• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Line the base and sides of a loaf tin with baking parchment. Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, eggs, baking powder, spices, and marmalade, and mix with an electric hand whisk until well combined.
• Pour into the tin and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until risen and firm to the touch. Cover the top of the cake with foil for the last 30 minutes if it starts to brown too quickly. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Warm the marmalade in a pan, then brush the top of the cake generously with it. Remove from the tin, and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

It is so delicious and moist, it cuts up beautifully! I made it two days ago and it has pretty much gone!
