Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch square baking pan with canola oil. Beat the egg whites and granulated sugar with a mixer until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk both flours, the almonds and baking powder in a bowl. Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup oil, the orange and lemon juices and the marmalade into the yolks until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the beaten egg whites until just combined. Add the raisins, if desired.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is golden and springs back when touched, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup: Bring 3/4 cup water and the granulated sugar to a boil in a saucepan; squeeze in the orange juice and add the peel. Simmer until syrupy, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Pour the syrup over the cake while both are still warm. Cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and let soak overnight. Cut into squares and top with confectioners' sugar and/or almonds.
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.

GINGER MARMALADE
This is the best ginger marmalade that I have ever tasted. Recently disappointed with the texture and aftertaste of another ginger marmalade, I searched for a homemade ginger marmalade and found only one very inadequate recipe. I created my own based on an orange marmalade recipe, and it turned out great.

Steps:
- Divide the ginger in half, and chop half into cubes; shred the other half with a box grater or in a food processor using the shredding blade. Total ginger should equal 3 cups. Place the ginger into a large saucepan with water over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot, and simmer the ginger until tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add more water if needed to keep mixture from drying out. Pour the cooked ginger into a fine-mesh strainer, drain, and retain 1/2 cup of the ginger-flavored water. Place the cooked ginger in a bowl with the retained liquid, and cool at least 4 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
- When ginger is thoroughly cooled, place into a large, heavy-bottomed pot, and stir in the sugar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the pouch of liquid pectin, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 7 more minutes, skimming foam from top of marmalade.
- Sterilize the canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the marmalade into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh ginger, zesty oranges, and plump raisins will elevate the cake.
- Creaming Method: To achieve a light and fluffy texture, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender crumb.
- Ginger and Orange Zest: Finely grate the ginger and oranges to release their aromatic oils. Incorporate them into the batter for a burst of citrusy-spicy flavor.
- Mixed Spice: A blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice adds warmth and depth to the cake. If you don't have mixed spice on hand, use a combination of these spices.
- Golden Syrup: This ingredient adds a characteristic moistness and golden hue to the cake. If unavailable, substitute with honey or molasses for a similar effect.
- Soaking the Raisins: Soaking the raisins in orange juice before adding them to the batter plumps them up and infuses them with citrus flavor.
- Baking at Low Temperature: Bake the cake at a low temperature for a longer duration. This gentle baking ensures even cooking and prevents the cake from becoming dry.
- Testing for Doneness: Insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Overbaking can dry out the cake, so check it a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the delicate balance of flavors and textures in this marmalade ginger cake makes it a true delight. With its moist and fluffy crumb, vibrant citrus notes, aromatic ginger warmth, and chewy raisins, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Remember to follow the tips mentioned above to ensure a successful baking experience. Enjoy the sweet and zesty goodness of this classic recipe, and don't forget to share a slice with your loved ones!
