Vanilla Orange Cake
Preheat oven to 350℉ / 180℃ / 160℃ Fan (convection). Butter and flour the inside of a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the center with overhanging parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
oz all purpose flour
tsp baking powder
tsp fine sea salt
Combine the granulated sugar and orange zest in a large mixing bowl. Massage the zest into the sugar with a fork until the sugar has started to absorb the orange oils.

zest of 3 large oranges
Next, add the eggs to the sugar and using an electric hand mixer, whisk together for about 2 minutes on medium speed, until thicker and paler in consistency.

Add in the heavy cream, vanilla, almond paste and marmalade then mix again to distribute.

Add the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture and fold with a silicone spatula until no flour streaks remain.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Place the pan on the middle oven rack and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make Orange Syrup & Glaze Cake
While the cake is baking, make the orange syrup. Place the sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan on medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.

oz fresh orange juice
Once the cake is baked, place it on a wire rack to cool. Immediately glaze the top of the warm cake, by painting with a thin coating of orange syrup using a pastry brush.
Let the cake cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the loaf pan. Transfer the slightly warm cake to a serving dish and brush the sides with a thin coating of orange syrup.
Glaze the Cake
Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the vanilla orange cake glaze.
