5 Steps to Irresistible Homemade Treats

This easy 5-step recipe lets you craft homemade Jaffa Cakes that are soft, tangy, and irresistible. Perfect for a delicious treat!

 

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 Jaffa Cakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 100g (3/4 cup) self-raising flour
  • 1 packet of orange jelly (approx. 100g)
  • 200g (7 oz) dark or milk chocolate (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp water (for jelly)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Jelly:

  • Dissolve the orange jelly in boiling water. Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set. Cut into small discs using a circular cutter.

2. Make the Sponge Base:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin lightly. Whisk eggs and sugar together until fluffy. Gently fold in the flour.

3. Fill the Muffin Tin:

  • Pour a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup and spread evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until springy. Let cool.

4. Assemble the Jaffa Cakes:

  • Place a jelly disc on top of each sponge base.

5. Coat with Chocolate:

  • Melt the chocolate and spoon it over the jelly-topped cakes. Let set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the sponge is fully cooled before adding the jelly and chocolate to prevent melting.
  • For a smoother finish, let the chocolate set at room temperature instead of refrigerating.
