    Pour the cake mixture into the lined loaf tin and bake for 1 hr, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Truly delish! Did not have any oranges but had a grapefruit so in went the zest of grapefruit - no waste. It added tanginess and a lovely zing. Did not bother with the glaze at all, I used 4 tbsp of orange marmalade straight in the mixture and reserved one for licking the top of the finished cake…

Absolutely delicious - followed recipe completely except I baked for 55 mins instead. YUM.

This is a great cake. Really easy to make and very light. I follow the recipe exactly and it comes out fab every time.

This is a most lovely old fashioned marmalade cake. I use home made marmalade in it for extra taste. An all round hit with my family, and usually gone within hours of baking it!
