• Add eggs one by one.
• Stir in almonds, flour and salt.
• Sprinkle remainder of sugar on the base of the cake tin. Using the most perfect slices of orange, arrange them overlapping a lot on the base of the cake tin. Use up slightly more than a third of the slices.
• Spread a third of the cake mixture onto the oranges.
• Add another layer of the orange slices.

• Layer of orange slices.
• Spoon on remaining cake mix.
• Bake for 2 hours (approximately) until the top is dark brown. Ease the cake out of the tin and turn out the cake onto a plate and allow to cool. The orange slices will now be on the top of the cake.
• Melt the marmalade/jelly with the water and spread over the top of the cake. Leave to cool.
• Slice with a sharp knife to serve.
• Soured cream or creme fraice is good as an accompaniment.
