How to Make Ginger Marmalade Cake

  1. Soak 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries etc) in 1/2 cup strong brewed tea overnight. Allow the fruit to plump up completely.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 4.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1 cup orange marmalade until light and frothy. Add the soaked fruit mixture, 2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 cup black treacle (molasses). Mix well.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased and lined or non-stick 8x11 inch baking tin.
  7. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
