Instructions
- Preheat oven to fan 160 C / 180 C / 350 F / gas 4.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, orange juice, marmalade, eggs and orange zest until the marmalade dissolves.
- In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients and add them to the wet. Combine everything together into a runny batter.
- Grease 2 loaf tins and line them with greaseproof baking paper. Split the batter evenly between the tins and bake for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- This is where I stop as the cake is perfect for me but I will continue with the recipe from Jerusalem.
- Near the end of baking time, bring the syrup ingredients to boil in a small saucepan and set aside.
- Remove the cakes from the oven start brushing the syrup them with the syrup until as much syrup as you want has been absorbed.
- Let the cakes cool and remove them from the tins and serve with some Greek yoghurt.
Notes
- Slightly adapted from Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. This was baked in UK measurements and converted to USA measurements.
