I also made this on the day that the kids had off school. It was easy to make, and fairly tasty. Ad and Tom really liked it, I wasn't quite so bothered. It really is all down to personal taste.
I am not really sure why it is called marmalade cake, as it only has two tablespoons of marmalade in it, and does not taste of it at all. Mary says to be careful not to put too much marmalade in or it sinks, but I didn't have that problem.
I bought some sugar cubes to bash up and sprinkle on the top, rather than buy "nibbed sugar". Breaking the cubes up was quite a messy business, and the sugar tended to fly everywhere, but it seemed to do the trick.
Personally I give this traybake 7.5. The boys probably would have given in 8.5!
