One fine day, i decided to bake a lovely orange marmalade cake which i found in sanjeev kapoor's cookbook. I ran into the store and bought a jar of orange marmalade and came home happily to bake this goodness. I made the batter patiently, took step by step picture of it..Poured the batter into the cake tin and blessed the tin and put that into the oven. Then i waited for a hard 45 mins, when i opened the oven door to check the cake, I smelled the best aroma of my life, the cake was beautifully baked and everything was coming together so well...
Then this horrible this happened to me. When i was about to the take the cake out of the oven, I dropped the entire cake on the floor, since the cake was hot and so soft the whole cake fell on to the floor and got broken into pieces(lucky my dog).
I was so worried and totally got out of mood. The whole day i was blabbering about this to everyone i see and posted that in my facebook wall, i got so many kind messages for that..But luckily(?) i got some left over batter because my cake pan was smaller than a 9 inch pan and i baked that in a small square cake pan. I got to taste that, i should tell you, it was the softest most flavourful cake i ever baked and tasted. I took a pic of that and wanted to post that here.
So in my step by step pictures, if you ever see a round cake turned into a square cake, don't get surprised.
Bake this and let me know how it turned out for you. If you can send me a pic..

@Princy VinothI think you must have over filled the cake tin. May be the batter must be too thick..

Aartiamma, This, Orange Marmalade Cake is an excellent recipe and I have only to buy the Marmalade to
try it. The appeal of many of your recipes apart, your innovation of supplimenting the recipe text with
sequential pictures is really superb. It is more eloquent in explaining the procedure of preparation, than the artificial eloquence and tediousness in many normally presented videos. One request, don't try to push up too many commonplace south indian items, for the sake of it. For example, an everyday Rava Dosa fried in ghee, is worthier than the cumbersome, tasteless Poricha Kuttu. Regards.

Hi, Can I use chocolate chips instead of tutti fruity?
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes u can use..
Ann
The sugar measurement, is it before powdering or after? also, if we don't add tutti fruity, any problem?
Aarthi
@Annit is after powdering and u can skip tutti fruity
umamahi
hie akka, i ve 1 doubt..instead of beating the egg whites separately,can we add d whole egg along wid d whites after creaming d butter and sugar??thanks:)
Aarthi
@umamahino this way the cake will be much lighter
umamahi
can i beat the egg whites and yolks with my hand wire whisker akka??
Aarthi
@umamahiit will take so much time. you can beat it with your wire whisk
umamahi
can i halve this recipe?and in the halved recipe,i cannot half the 3eggs into 1 1/2 eggs,so shall i use 2eggs for 1 1/4cup of flour by leaving the yogurt?will t work??thanks:)
Aarthi
@umamahidont skip the yogurt. just crack the second egg in a bowl, whisk it and add just half of it.
Ann Baird
What is tutti frutti? Is it the mixed candied fruit that is in grocery stores around Christmas time?
Aarthi
yes it is similar to that. you can use that as well.
