Method
- Set the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Cook the citrus slices in boiling water for 2-3 mins, and then drain them well.
- Brush the melted butter over the base of the lined tin and sprinkle over the sugar. Arrange the citrus slices on top.
- To make the cake: Beat together the butter, flour, marmalade and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Spoon the mixture over the sliced citrus
- fruits and spread it out gently, taking care not to disturb the pattern of the citrus slices.
- Bake the cake in the centre of the oven for 35-40 mins, or until it has risen and is just firm to the touch in the centre. Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for about 5 mins. Warm the sieved marmalade with 1 tbsp water until smooth and runny for a glaze.
- Turn the cake out on to a serving plate and peel away the lining paper. Brush the glaze over the top. Serve the cake, warm or cold, with custard or crème fraîche.
