Ingredients

  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 150 g Butter
  • 2 medium eggs beaten
  • 150 g Self Raising Flour
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 small orange
  • 3 tbsp Lemon marmalade with gin and lime
  • Juice of 1 small orange
  • 50 ml Gin

Instructions

  1. Pre heat the oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4.
  2. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
  3. In a bow, cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the eggs, followed by the orange and lime zests.
  5. Fold in the flour.
  6. Turn out into a the lined cake tin, and pop into the oven.
  7. This is a relatively dense cake, so it's worth keeping an eye on it - it should take around 30 minutes. Test by inserting a skewer into the cake - if it is clean when removed, it's done.
  8. While the cake is baking, put the orange juice, gin and marmalade into a pan, and warm gently until the marmalade melts, and it becomes a syrup.
  9. Once the cake is done, while still warm, spoon the syrup over the cake.
  10. Leave until all syrup has been complete absorbed.
  11. Slice and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

This cake is deliberately made a little dry, so it will absorb more syrup - if you feel it needs a little help, poke the top of the cake with a skewer - the syrup will soak in even faster!
