Sticky Jaffa loaf

Found this recipe on Women's Weekly. This sticky and sweet jaffa loaf combines citrusy orange with a dense sponge to make one delicious loaf recipe that you’ll want to make time and time again. Warm marmalade and a creamy, yogurt mix makes this loaf different to the rest. This cake only takes 1hr  to rustle up and is well worth the wait.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsps good-quality thin-cut marmalade
• 150g tub 0% fat plain yogurt
• 3 medium eggs
• 175g golden caster sugar
• 175g spreadable butter
• 175g self-raising flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Zest of 1 large orange
  

For the glaze:

• Juice of ½ an orange
• 5 tbsps good-quality thin-cut marmalade
• 900g loaf tin, buttered and strip-lined

Method:

 

 Set the oven to 160C/140C for fan oven.

 Warm the marmalade, beat in the yogurt and set aside.
 

Beat the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Quickly beat in the yogurt and spoon the mixture into the tin.

Bake for about 1 hours or until a skewer, when inserted, comes out clean. Check loaf after an hour.

Leave in the tin for 10 mins to cool. Make holes in it with the skewer.

 

To make the glaze:
Bring the orange juice to the boil in a small pan, then add the marmalade and heat until bubbling and smooth. Spoon it over the cake. Leave to cool in the tin.
