Method

Set the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Warm the marmalade, beat in the yogurt and set aside.
Beat the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Quickly beat in the yogurt and spoon the mixture into the tin.
Bake for about 1¼ hours or until a skewer, when inserted, comes out clean. Check loaf after an hour.
Leave in the tin for 10 mins to cool. Make holes in it with the skewer.
To make the glaze: Bring the orange juice to the boil in a small pan, then add the marmalade and heat until bubbling and smooth. Spoon it over the cake. Leave to cool in the tin.
