Tastes fabulously good

Line a loaf pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Finely grate the orange peel and squeeze the juice. Melt the chocolate. Cream together room-temperature butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs (also at room temperature), one at a time. Mix the flour, potato flour, almonds, and baking powder, and stir into the batter. Then stir in the melted, cooled chocolate, the juice, and the grated orange zest. Pour a good third of the batter into the pan, spread a layer (about 6 or 7) of orange sponge cakes on top, another good third of the batter on top of the sponge cakes, another layer of sponge cakes, and spread the rest of the batter on top. Bake at medium heat at around 190°C (375°F) for about 60 minutes, depending on the oven. Let the cake cool completely. Then heat the orange marmalade and spread it over the cake, including the sides. Finally, cover with the melted chocolate. Once it has cooled completely, wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for two days; it tastes best after that.
