Ingredients
- 5 free-range eggs
- 150g/5oz caster sugar
- 110g/4oz plain flour
- 40g/1½oz cocoa powder
- 25g/1oz butter
- , for drizzling whisky
- , for dusting icing sugar
- 175g/6oz coarse cut Seville orange
- 300ml/10½fl oz double cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Lightly grease and line the base of two 20cm/8in cake tins.
- For the sponge, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl for 4-5 minutes, or until thick and pale.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder, then gently fold it into the egg and sugar mixture until just combined. Stir in the melted butter.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 prepared cake tins. Place the tins onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cakes are risen and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the marmalade cream, place the marmalade into a food processor and blend to a purée.
- Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gently fold in the marmalade puree to create a marbling effect throughout the cream.
- To serve, place the sponge cakes on a tray and drizzle the whisky evenly between the 2 cakes. Place one sponge on a serving plate and spread over the marmalade cream. Top with the second sponge cake. Lightly dust with icing sugar, then cut into wedges to serve.
