Orange Marmalade Almond Cake Recipe Caitlin McGrath

• 1 1/2 cups (6.75 ounces) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (2.5 ounces) almond meal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice, divided
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon orange flower water (optional)
• Sliced almonds to garnish (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch springform pan or 9 x 2-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment and the sides of the pan.
2. Stir together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
3. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, followed by the marmalade, orange zest, and almond extract.
5. Beat in half the dry ingredients, followed by 1/2 cup of orange juice, and finally the remaining dry ingredients.
6. Pour the batter in the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.
7. Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes or so, then invert the cake, and peel off the parchment.
8. Turn the cake right side up and allow it to cool completely.
9. When the cake has cooled, make the glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice and orange flower water (if using).
10. Put the cake on a plate, spoon the glaze on, and spread it over the top.
11. Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
12. Let stand until glaze sets.
