Orange Marmalade Cake

Submitted by Chef mariajane

"Marmalade is the magic ingredient in this extraordinary cake. It provides a rich citrus taste, helps make the cake super moist, and it adds a bit of sweetness. Serve this warm or at room temperature with whipped cream and berries, and watch it disappear!! This is also delicious for breakfast or brunch."
