Ingredients:

240g self-raising flour
2 eggs, beaten
90g caster sugar
120 butter
1 drop vanilla extract
2 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tsp orange zest, finely grated
2 tbsp milk
pinch of salt

Method:

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub-in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, half the orange zest and mix in before adding the eggs, marmalade, milk and vanilla. Mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.

Grease a 15cm round cake tin and pour the mixture into this. Bake in the centre of an oven pre-heated to 170°C (150°C/325°/Gas Mark 3) for about 80 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.

Sprinkle the remainder of the orange zest on top and allow to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and allowing to cool completely.
