Total time:
Serves: 10
- 200g unsalted butter
- 200g caster sugar
- 200g self raising flour
- 4 eggs
- Fruit Shoot Orange Jam
- 2 tbsp of chocolate spread
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 50g milk chocolate
- 50g plain chocolate
- pre heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan)
- grease and line 2 x 8 inch cake pans
- Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and soft - about 5 minutes
- Add the eggs and a spoonful of the flour and beat for a few minutes until light and airy
- Fold in the remaining flour along with a good squirt of the orange jam
- Divide the batter between the two cake pans and then cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked right through
- Leave to cool, then remove from the cake pans and make your chocolate frosting
- Beat the cream cheese and chocolate spread together to make a smooth chocolate cream
- Place one sponge onto your cake plate and spread some of the orange jam over it
- On the other sponge, cover with the the chocolate frosting and then sandwich the two together
- Place the chocolate in a bowl and melt - I put mine in the microwave for 30 sec blasts (took about 90 secs to melt)
- Allow to cool for a few minutes and then cover the top of your cake , and it should leave a glossy shine just like a jaffa cake.
- Enjoy :)
