Marmalade Cinnamon Cake
From Sainsbury'sA delicious moist cake with marmalade, cinnamon and toasted almonds.
Serves: 12
Preparation time: 15 Minutes
Cooking time: 35 Minutes
Ingredients
250g unsalted butter
250g caster sugar
4 medium size eggs
175g self raising flour
50g ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 jar thin shredded marmalade
50g toasted almonds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
150ml double cream, lightly whipped
icing sugar to dust
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4.
Lightly grease two 20.5cm sandwich tins. Line the bottom of the tins with baking parchment.
Place the unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, flour, ground almonds and baking powder in a large bowl and beat well for 2 minutes. (This is a lot easier in a food mixer).
Gently fold in a third of the jar of marmalade, the almonds and the cinnamon.
Divide the mixture between the sandwich tins. Bake for about 35 minutes until well risen and the top of the cakes 'spring' back when lightly pressed.
Leave to cool in the tins for 2 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to completely cool.
Sandwich the cake together with the remaining marmalade and cream. Dust with the little icing sugar and serve.
