CAKE...
-
Separate the egg yolks from the
whites.
-
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks
with the sugar and salt until consistent and thick.
-
Add the flour, rum, orange extract,
and starch, mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites
until snowy and stiff.
-
Fold into the egg yolk mixture, then
transfer to a small greased and floured cake mold.
-
Bake in the oven for about 25-30
minutes.
-
Check if it is cooked by inserting a
knife in the center. If the knife comes out clean, then the
cake is done.
-
Remove from oven when cooked.
-
Let it cool for about an hour or two.
SYRUP...
-
Melt butter in a small sauce pan over
high heat.
-
Add dried fruits and sauté for about
30 seconds - just to bring out the flavor.
-
Add rum, then heat until simmering.
-
Stir in marmalade, then reduce to make
a thin syrup.
-
Stir in cinnamon powder.
Before serving, remove cake from the mold.
Use a knife to loosen the edges - the cake should come through easily.
