- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup dried sour cherries
- 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil and flour a 10-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cardamom and nutmeg.
Stir in cherries and pecans. Set aside.
In a second large bowl, beat together sugar and butter until well combined and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Add milk, juice, vanilla and eggs and beat again until combined, about 1 minute.
Fold reserved flour mixture into butter mixture a little at a time, stirring just until blended.
Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan and gently smooth out with a spatula.
Spoon marmalade evenly over batter, then top with oranges.
Pour remaining batter evenly over oranges then smooth top with a spatula.
Bake until dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Set aside to let cake cool in pan until warm, then invert onto a large plate, cut into slices and serve.
