Method
Tap a step to mark it done.
Step 1: Cream butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time.
Step 2: Stir in marmalade, orange rind and vanilla.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. In another, combine orange juice and evaporated milk.
Step 4: Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the juice mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix at low speed after each addition.
Step 5: Stir in pecans.
Step 6: Bake in a buttered Bundt pan at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out dry.
Step 7: Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes, then turn the cake out onto the rack.
Step 8: For the glaze, immediately combine orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves.
Step 9: Prick the cake at 1-inch intervals with a long skewer. Brush the hot glaze over the top of the warm cake.
Step 10: Cool completely on the wire rack.
Ron and several other Woodlands residents read the "Mitford" series, in which a marmalade cake comes up throughout one of the books. Everyone was craving it afterward, so Ron found this recipe and passed it around.
What we changed or couldn’t read (1)
- Source prints "Midford Series"; this is almost certainly Jan Karon's Mitford series, which features an orange marmalade cake.
