Moist Orange Cake Recipe

Delicious traditional orange cake recipe, which is lovely and moist. As an alternative you can bake moist lemon cake – simply replace the orange zest, juice and marmalade with lemon zest, lemon juice and lemon marmalade.

• Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and orange zest into a large mixing bowl
• Melt the butter (or marg), marmalade and sugar in a pan (stirring continuously)
• Pour onto the dry ingredients and beat well
• Add the beaten egg and stir
• Finally add the boiling water/ orange juice
• Beat the mixture until bubbles appear on the surface
• Pour into a lined 2lb loaf tin
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes at 180°C/ 360°F/ Gas Mark 4
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes then turn the cake onto a cooling rack

Comments: The flavour will develop, so try to leave it for 2 to 3 days wrapped in cling film before serving.
