About Eggless Marmalade Cake Recipe
I love using orange marmalade in baking, especially in cakes. Marmalade is usually used for spreading over toast, waffles, but it can also be used in so many ways in baking and this cake is one of my favorite ways to use it.
This eggless orange marmalade cake is made with whole wheat flour, milk, sugar, oil, candied orange peel, orange marmalade and other basic ingredients. I wanted to try a cake a little different from the usual cakes, so I decided to use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour.
I made this cake without eggs, but if you prefer a soft cake with eggs, check my marmalade cake recipe.
The best part about this cake is its taste. The orange marmalade is distributed throughout the cake and adds citrus taste and aroma. The cake is not too sweet which makes it perfect to serve with your evening tea or coffee.

Ingredients
- Wheat flour : I used whole wheat flour for making this cake. It makes a great healthier alternative to regular all purpose flour.
- Leavening agent : I used both baking powder and baking soda in this recipe.
- Orange marmalade : I have used my homemade orange marmalade. It adds sweetness with little bits of orange peel.
- Sugar : I used Regular granulated sugar. You can adjust the quantity depending on the sweetness of your marmalade.
- Oil : Use any neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola oil for this cake. Instead of oil, you can use melted butter.
- Sweetened condensed milk : Since this is an eggless recipe, condensed milk helps to bind the cake.
- Yogurt : Use fresh, thick and plain yogurt for this recipe. It also acts as eggless alternative.
- Milk : Use full fat milk to make a smooth batter. Add it gradually, as whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture.
- Candied orange peel : I added candied orange peel. You can skip it if you don’t have that. Also chopped nuts can be used in the cake.

Storage – Store the eggless orange marmalade cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. You can also refrigerate the cake for 5 days.
Serving – This orange marmalade cake tastes delicious on its own with a cup of tea or black coffee .You can also dust some icing sugar or drizzle it with orange glaze, hot chocolate sauce or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
FAQ
Q. Can I use store bought orange marmalade for this cake ?
Yes, you can use store bought orange marmalade. Make sure it has a thick consistency with small pieces of orange peel. Both homemade and store bought marmalade work well in this recipe.
Q. Can I use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour ?
Yes, you can use all purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour. The cake will have a lighter texture compared to the wheat flour version.
Q. Can I use orange jam instead of orange marmalade ?
Yes, you can use orange jam, but the taste and texture will be slightly different. Marmalade usually contains small pieces of orange peel with mild sweet flavour. Orange jam is usually smoother and sweeter, so using it will not give the cake the same flavour as marmalade does.
Q. Why is my cake sticky after baking ?
This cake has moist crumb because of using oil, yogurt, condensed milk and marmalade. So, make sure the cake is completely baked and cool them before slicing. Cutting it while still warm can make the inside feel sticky.
