Recipe Introduction


Instead of marmalade, you can use whipped cream and strawberries in between layers and atop this cake.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
  
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  
• 4 eggs
  
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 3 tsps baking powder
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1 cup milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 (10 oz) jar orange marmalade
  
• FROSTING:
  
• 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
  
• orange juice
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
   
2. In a large bowl beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy.
   
3. Add the eggs one at a time.
   
4. In another bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   
5. Add the dry mixture alternately to the batter with the milk. Add the vanilla.
   
6. Bake in a greased angel food pan for 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and then cool on a rack.
