Duerr’s jam have a fantastic range if jams, marmalade and sauces and I have been experimenting with the Grapefruit Marmalade as it is just a bit different from the norm.

Of course breakfast is the obvious choice, spread thick on toast it a wonderfully zingy way to start the day but for something a bit different why not try my Sticky Grapefruit Drizzle Cake. It’s easy, super tasty and works every time!

What you’ll need

For the cake

• 3 tbsp Duerr’s Grapefruit Marmalade
• 3 Eggs
• 175g Softened Butter
• 175g Caster Sugar
• 175g Flour

For the topping

• 1 tbsp Duerr’s Grapefruit Marmalade
• The juice of one lemon
• Icing Sugar

  

Method

• Preheat oven to 170c and prepare a cake tin.
• Cream together butter and sugar.
• Mix in the three eggs.
• Add the Marmalade and mix in until fairly smooth.
• Finally stir in the flour until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour into the cake tin and bake for 50 minutes.
• Once baked remove from oven and leave to cool in tin for approx 10 minutes whilst you make the topping.
• Add the marmalade to the juice of one lemon and microwave for 20-30 seconds until the marmalade mixes into the lemon juice to form a sauce. It will be  bit lumpy but that doesn’t matter.
• Mix in icing sugar to taste.
• Turn the cake out onto a plate and whilst warm use a fork to prick lots of small holes into the top of the cake.
• Cover with the sticky drizzle mix and leave to cool.

  

The cake is best served before anyone else gets home!! Just be sure to hide the evidence.
