Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and line the base with parchment paper.

Step 2

Zest the orange, then squeeze the orange juice. Set 1 teaspoon of juice aside separately from the rest, for use in the icing.

Step 3

Make the glaze - place the marmalade and cardamom seeds in a small saucepan. Add the orange juice (not including the teaspoon set aside) and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse.

Step 4

Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the orange zest. Beat in the marmalade. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the flour.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-55 minutes, until the loaf is pale golden and a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then turn the loaf out and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 7

When the loaf has cooled to room temperature, mix the powdered sugar with a bit of orange juice. Not too thick, not too thin. Using a spoon or a plastic bag snipped at one corner, zigzag the icing over the loaf.
