Orange Marmalade Cake

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..

    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.
