- 170 g soft brown sugar
- 170 g self raising flour
- 3 medium eggs
- extra spread for lining tin
Instructions
- Grease a 19cm/71/2 inch springform cake tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Make the cake by creaming together the spread and sugar then add the eggs one at a time, beating in well.
- Mix in the marmalade and fold in the flour.
- Turn the mixture into the tin and bake for about 50 minutes until a skwewer comes out clean.
- In the meantime put the orange slices in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes then carefully transfer the orange slices into iced water.
- In a frying pan add the sugar, water and orange juice and gently heat until the sugar dissolves then add the orange slices in a single layer.
- Leave the orange slices in the syrup until they are very soft, turning occasionally without boiling. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
- When the cake is cooked remove the tin immediately and place on a plate with an edge. Use a skewer to poke holes then arrange the slices over the cake and pour the syrup all over.
