taywell
Ingredients
- 200g butter (Softened)
- 2x Oranges (Unwaxed)
- 325g Golden caster sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 80g Taywell Homemade Marmalade
- 200g self-raising flour
Method
Heat the Oven around 160 or Gas 4. Line your cake tin
Zest the oranges, then remove the peel and pith using a small knife. Set aside. Cut the oranges along the middle (not top to bottom) into 1cm-thick slices. Sprinkle 25g sugar over the base of the tin and arrange the orange slices on top. Set aside while you make the syrup and cake batter.
Then with the same amount of Orange Peel & Pith to Sugar & Water around 100g, simmer for around 10 minutes then bring to the boil until it reduces & is the consistency of a thick syrup, allow to cool & infuse. When cool strain.
Beat the butter and 200g of the sugar together until light and fluffy. Crack in the eggs, one at a time, beating well each time. Finally, beat in the orange zest and your Homemade Taywell Marmalade before carefully folding in the flour and a pinch of salt. Spoon the batter over the orange slices and smooth the surface gently. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden, a skewer should come out clean from the middle of the sponge.
Leave to cool in the tin before carefully turning onto a plate. Brush some of the orange syrup over the top.
