Chocolate Chip Marmalade Cakes
Description
This recipe mixes butter, sugar, eggs, self-raising flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into a batter adjusted with semi-skimmed milk for consistency. Folded into the batter are dark chocolate chips and orange marmalade, which create bursts of sweet and tangy flavor within the cake. The batter is portioned into paper-lined muffin cups and baked until golden and springy to the touch.
After cooling, the cakes are decorated with a drizzle or piped orange glaze made from icing sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice, enhancing the citrus notes and giving a shiny, sweet finish.
These small cakes work well as teatime treats or dessert with a balance of sweet chocolate and zesty marmalade in each bite.
