Chocolate Cake

[Bugs]

Looking for a recipe for my sister. She has lent her book out & not got it back. It's a Nigella Lawson recipe from How to be a Domestic Goddess. The only thing she can recall is that is has marmalade in it & that it is easy. Thanks in advance.

STORE-CUPBOARD CHOCOLATE-ORANGE CAKE

From How to be a domestic goddess by Nigella Lawson

125g unsalted butter
100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
300g good, thin-cut marmalade
150g caster sugar
pinch of salt
2 large eggs, beaten
150g self-raising flour
20cm springform tin, buttered and floured

Preheat oven to 180C/gas mark 4
Put the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and put over a low heat to melt.
When it's nearly completely melted, stir in the chocolate.
Leave for a moment to begin softening, then take the pan off the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the butter and chocolate are smooth and melted.
Now add the marmalade, sugar, salt and eggs.
Stir with your wooden spoon and when all is pretty well amalgamated, beat in the flour bit by bit.
Put into your prepared tin and bake for about 50 minutes or until a cake-tester or skewer comes out clean.
Cool in the tin on a rack for 10 minutes before turning out.

Bon Appetite

Don't forget to send me a slice.

Thank you so much Kitty. That looks so easy. I might even have a go myself.
