  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) with top and bottom heat.
  2. 2. Grease your cake pan generously with butter.
  3. 3. Dust the greased pan with ground almonds so the cake does not stick later.
  4. 4. Wash the orange under hot water and dry it off.

  6. 6. Squeeze the juice out of the orange.
  7. 7. Put the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl.

  14. 14. Smooth the surface of the batter with a spoon or spatula.
  15. 15. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes.

  18. 18. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  19. 19. Mix the orange marmalade with the liqueur in a small saucepan.
