About the bake

A cake you can make in your bread machine! There is no fuss with this Ginger and Marmalade Cake recipe, it really is a case of adding all your ingredients together in your breadmaker and letting it do the work for you. You will need a little saucepan to melt your marmalade, butter, sugar and syrup together but apart from that there is minimal washing up to do.

    Kelly from the isle of Man. 2 lb loaf tin lined 150 fan 1 hr conventional reduce milk to 140ml turned out good . Next time might try treacle instead of marmalade ?

    Thanks for this recipe! I baked it a conventional oven. Turned out great, everybody loved it and I'll definitely make it again.
    I cooked it on 180 for about 50 minutes.
