I made the cake without the marmalade and it came out very dense. The flavor is decent, but the texture is nothing like sponge cake. Not a very good cake.

This isn't a sponge cake. It came out like a rock. Mario should be ashamed of this recipe. Do not make it, you will be sorry.

I actually made this for a birthday, because my friends hate the regular "gobs of white frosting with neon coloured lettering" abominations that are passed off as cake.

Though I made recipe as little cakes because folks will not eat a slice of cake, since the whole world is diet crazy. BUT they will eat a cupcake size cake (shrug..same calories. So everyone got their own little Ciambella Pugliese cake.

The recipe was easy to follow. The cakes came out beautifully. So tasty. The lemon zest is a nice touch. I had a
hard time judging how far down to cook the marmalade, but that is more me, not the recipe.

No one notice that there is olive oil in the cake.

Huge hit. Will make it again, infact for another birthday party in a few weeks.

A keeper for sure.....
