Esther's Orange Marmalade Cake from the Mitford Series
I read all of the Mitford books and loved them. I found out later that there was also a cookbook. So, of course, I bought it. Can't wait to try this recipe. BTW, Donna B. said it was very good!! Just an FYI: my husband read the whole recipe to me after I typed it in. By the end, he had a couple of choice words for the cake. He was kidding, of course.
