Description
Soft, fluffy sponge topped with tangy orange jelly and rich chocolate, perfect for homemade Jaffa Cakes.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
100g caster sugar
100g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
50g unsalted butter, melted
100g orange marmalade
150g dark chocolate
Optional: 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Beat eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Gently fold in flour and baking powder, then add melted butter.
3. Divide batter evenly among muffin cases and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and springy. Cool completely.
4. Warm orange marmalade slightly and spoon a small amount onto each cooled sponge. Allow to set.
5. Melt dark chocolate and spoon over each Jaffa Cake, covering the marmalade. Let chocolate set completely.
6. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Add orange zest for extra flavor.
Swap orange marmalade for raspberry or lemon curd for variation.
Use milk or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
Mini muffin tins work for bite-sized treats.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
