CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE WITH ORANGE MARMALADE AND CHOCOLATE-ORANGE BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- For the marmalade: Cut the oranges and lemon in half, then cut the halves into very thin slices. Place the slices in a large nonstick or stainless-steel pot, add 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sugar, stirring well until the sugar is dissolved. Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight.
- The following day, bring back to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 hours. Turn up the heat a little and boil gently for another 30 minutes. Place a candy thermometer in the marmalade and cook until it reaches the jelly stage (220 degrees F).
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in an 8-cup microwave-safe container. Whisk in the sugar and then the cocoa powder until fully incorporated. Slowly add the hot coffee in three increments, whisking until smooth. Add the vanilla, then add the eggs, one at a time.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually pour in the chocolate mixture; beat on medium-high speed for 1 minute. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and beat until smooth, another 30 seconds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.
- For the buttercream: Set a clean stand-mixer bowl over a double-boiler and add the egg whites and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and beat with the whisk attachment until stiff and glossy. Piece by piece, gradually incorporate the butter--the mixture will start to look curdled but will come together once fully incorporated. Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, orange zest and vanilla; beat until incorporated.
- To assemble: Level the cooled cake layers and lightly brush with the orange liqueur. Spread the top of each layer with a thin layer of marmalade and then, using an offset spatula, with the buttercream cream. Stack the cake layers.
CHOCOLATE CAKE MADE WITH ORANGE MARMALADE
Another recipe from "To Set Before a Queen", by a former cook for Princess Elizabeth (before she was crowned queen). She says that this was her most popular cake with the royal family, and that she sent it by request to Windsor, Balmoral, and Sandringham, as well as making it for the Queen Mother for her birthday at her request. I made it for my MIL for her birthday one year--it was delicious. The marmalade adds a nice touch to the cake, and the coffee icing is perfect with the rich cake. Times are estimated and don't include time to cool.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-by-2-inch round pans; line with parchment paper. Butter parchment, and dust with cocoa. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- Place butter in bowl of electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs one at time, incorporating well after each addition; add the vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Divide the batter between pans; bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Cool cakes in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Unmold, and cool completely, right side up.
- Heat marmalade just until it is a spreadable consistency. Choose the more attractive cake layer, and set aside. Place the other layer on an 8-inch cake round, bottom side up. Using a pastry brush, coat the cake with the kumquat poaching syrup. Spread the marmalade over the cake, and allow to set, about 10 minutes. Brush the bottom of the reserved layer with the kumquat poaching liquid, and place on top of the marmalade, syrup side down. Dust the top with cocoa, and garnish with candied kumquats and sugared bay leaves.

ORANGE MARMALADE CAKE
This beautiful, tender, citrus-scented loaf cake filled with bits of candied orange peel is everything you want with your afternoon tea. The key is finding the right marmalade; it needs to be the thick-cut (also known as coarse-cut) marmalade made with bitter oranges, which will be laden with big pieces of peel. Look for the British brands in the international section of your supermarket if the jam aisle lets you down. (And not give up and use the neon orange marmalade that's more like jelly.) Your reward is a fine-grained, not-too-sweet cake that will last for days well-wrapped and stored at room temperature (if you can manage not to eat it up all at once).

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coarsely chop any extra-large chunks of peel in the marmalade. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together softened butter, sugar, lime zest and orange zest until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in 1/3 cup marmalade and the orange juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until surface of cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pan to a wire rack. Cool 10 minutes; turn cake out of pan and place on rack right-side up. Place a rimmed baking sheet under rack to catch the glaze.
- Heat remaining 1/3 cup marmalade in a small pot over low heat until melted; whisk in confectioners' sugar and 1/2 tablespoon butter until smooth. Slather warm glaze over top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Cool completely before slicing.

ORANGE MARMALADE CAKE
A spicy fragrant Bundt cake with a hint of orange. This is delicious served with a hot cup of tea. When other types of jam are added in place of the marmalade, it's then called a jam cake.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter the base and sides of two 20cm round sandwich tins and line with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl beat the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, with a little of the flour mixture, folding the ingredients in.
- Add the remaining flour. Add the milk, marmalade and orange extract. Mix all of the ingredients together to form a soft dropping consistency. You will need to mix together well to break up the marmalade, but don't worry if there are some marmalade lumps still present as they will be pockets of added yum when the cake is finished.
- Split the mixture between the two tins and cook for approx 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Leave the cakes to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before turning out on a cooling rack.
- Put all of the margarine required for the cocoa buttercream into a clean bowl. Gradually sieve the icing sugar (around 40g at a time) and cocoa powder into the bowl using a fine meshed sieve, stirring together each time you add more until you have a smooth buttercream.
- Once the two halves of cake are cool enough, spread the 3 tablespoons of orange marmalade of one of the halves and the cocoa buttercream on the other half and sandwich the two together.
- Place the cake on a large plate and decorate by sprinkling lightly with icing sugar using a fine meshed sieve.
Tips:
- To ensure a moist and flavorful cake, use freshly squeezed orange juice and finely grated orange zest in the batter.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or a combination of dark and semisweet chocolate.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a crispy crust, bake the cake in a preheated oven at a high temperature for the initial 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a decadent touch, use a chocolate ganache or orange marmalade frosting.
Conclusion:
This chocolate cake with orange marmalade is a delightful treat that combines the richness of chocolate with the bright citrus flavor of oranges. With its moist crumb, crispy crust, and tangy frosting, this cake is sure to impress your friends and family. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, this chocolate orange cake is a must-try.
