Not many of you probably remember Mark from Great British Bake Off series 1... but he made a marmalade tea loaf which sunk in the middle. So I decided to try and make it!
- 225g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground mixed spice
- 175g soft light brown muscovado sugar
- 100g chopped mixed nuts (I used brazil nuts and almonds)
- 175g unsalted butter, very soft
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 140g marmalade
900g loaf tin, greased or a 20cm round cake tin like I used.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger and mixed spice into a bowl and stir in the sugar and nuts.
- Add the butter and eggs, and all but 1 tbsp of the marmalade.
- Mix well (this requires A LOT of elbow grease, trust me!).
- Spoon the mixture into the tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40 minutes then cover with foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Leave to cool. Meanwhile, warm the marmalade with a couple of tsp of water and brush over the loaf.

I just made it and it has also sunk in the middle. I think it doesn't need self raising flour AND baking powder. Because it explodes up and then deflates. Surely plain flour would be better?
