Instructions

Make your Cake Batter
1

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line 2 loaf tins with baking paper.

b) Zest and juice the orange.

c) In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and orange zest with the eggs, water and vegetable oil (see pantry for all three amounts).

d) Gently stir until fully combined, 2-3 mins.

Ready, Steady, Bake
2

a) Divide the orange cake mixture between your lined loaf tins and pop onto the middle shelf of your oven until risen and golden, 27-30 mins, or until a rounded knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. TIP: A few crumbs are okay.

Marvellous Marmalade
3

a) Meanwhile, combine in a small saucepan the orange juice, caster sugar and marmalade.

b) Stir on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, 2-3 mins.

Soak it Up
4

a) Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven, then, using a skewer (or another pointy utensil), poke 15-20 holes in the top of each loaf.

b) Gently spoon the marmalade syrup over each loaf cake and allow it to soak in.

c) Allow the cakes to cool for 10 mins before removing from the tins, then allow to cool completely.

Hello Pistachio
5

a) While the cakes cools, remove the pistachios from their shells, then roughly chop.

Decorate and Serve
6

a) Arrange your loaf cakes on a platter and carefully sprinkle the pistachios in a line down the centre of each loaf to finish.

Enjoy!
