| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. | 2. *NOTE: The orange juice is my addition. You can add any proportion of milk and orange juice as long as the liquid equals 1 cup. | 3. Topping Number Two: To make the simple syrup, bring the water and sugar to the boil in a small saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the orange blossom water. Set aside. | 4. Cake: Grease and flour an 8" square baking pan. | 5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar and eggs until fluffy. | 6. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, orange juice, anise seeds and nutmeg. Beat on low speeds just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Next, beat on medium speed until fluffy and blended, about another minute. | 7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. | 8. Remove from oven and while still cake is still hot spread the orange marmalade on top for Topping Number One. For Topping Number Two, poke holes in the top of the cake all over with a toothpick. Pour the simple syrup over the top. | 9. Cut into squares. Delicious with coffee! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
