Ingredients

2tbsp agave syrup

3 oranges, zested, peeled and sliced

2 large eggs

115g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing

115g golden caster sugar

115g self-raising flour

½ Extra Special Valencian Orange Extract

25g ground almonds

Pinch ground cinnamon

200ml Asda 100% Pure Pink Grapefruit Juice

3tbsp orange marmalade

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Grease and line the base of a 20cm round cake tin. Drizzle the agave syrup all over the base of the tin.
2
Pat the orange slices dry on kitchen roll then arrange over the syrup.
3
Put the orange zest, eggs, butter, sugar, flour, orange extract, almonds and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy. Spoon the mixture over the oranges, spread out to cover the fruit and bake for 25 mins until well risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a serving plate, so the oranges are on top.
4
Put the pink grapefruit juice and the marmalade in a small pan and simmer over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes syrupy.
5
Spoon the pink grapefruit syrup all over the cake. It tastes best eaten warm, so serve immediately.
