Ingredients
- soft butter (for the pan)
- ground almond kernels (to grease the pan)
- 1 untreated orange
- 180 g soft butter
- 180 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g flour
- 80 g ground almond kernels (peeled)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 100 g orange marmalade
- 20 ml orange liqueur
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) with top and bottom heat.
- 2. Grease your cake pan generously with butter.
- 3. Dust the greased pan with ground almonds so the cake does not stick later.
- 4. Wash the orange under hot water and dry it off.
- 5. Finely grate the thin, orange-colored outer layer of the peel (the zest).
- 6. Squeeze the juice out of the orange.
- 7. Put the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
- 8. Beat the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until creamy and fluffy.
- 9. Add the eggs one by one into the bowl and mix each egg well before adding the next one.
- 10. Stir the orange juice and the orange peel zest into the butter-sugar mixture.
- 11. Mix the flour, ground almonds, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- 12. Add the flour mixture to the nut-butter mass and stir it in quickly until it is just mixed.
- 13. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- 14. Smooth the surface of the batter with a spoon or spatula.
- 15. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- 16. Check the baking time with a wooden skewer: if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- 17. Take the cake out of the oven and turn it out of the pan.
- 18. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
- 19. Mix the orange marmalade with the liqueur in a small saucepan.
- 20. Heat the marmalade mixture while stirring until it boils.
- 21. Brush the still hot cake immediately with the boiling marmalade glaze.
- 22. Let the glaze dry for a short moment.
- 23. Cut the cake into pieces and serve it.
