Equipment
Ingredients
- 115 g Butter or Margarine softened
- 115 g Caster Sugar (Superfine Sugar)
- 2 Free-range Eggs at room temperature
- Zest of 1 Orange
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 tbsp Orange Marmalade
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 190 g Self-raising Flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°c (160°c for fan assisted oven, Gas Mark 4 or 350°F). Line a 2lb loaf tin with a loaf tin liner, or some greaseproof paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the margarine/butter and sugar, until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at time, ensuring each is mixed through before adding the next. Add the orange zest, vanilla, marmalade & milk, mixing to combine.
- Sift in the flour, before gently folding to create a batter.
- Transfer the batter to your pre-lined loaf tin and bake in your pre-heated oven for 45-55 minutes until risen, golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Whilst since warm, spoon a little excess marmalade on top and spread over with a spoon to create a lightly glazed top. Allow to cool completely in the tin, before removing and serving in slices.
