  1. To stop the cake browning too much, wrap 2-3 sheets of folded newspaper around the tin to form a raised collar in step 1.
    Secure with string.

    For extra orangey loveliness, heat 3 tbsp marmalade with 1 tbsp orange juice and brush onto the warm loaf.

  2. The loaf will keep well for 3-4 days in a sealed container. Wrap in cling film and foil, then freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost to serve.
