A sponge cake which tastes like a jaffa cake
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. pre heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan)
  2. grease and line 2 x 8 inch cake pans
  3. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and soft - about 5 minutes
  4. Add the eggs and a spoonful of the flour and beat for a few minutes until light and airy
  5. Fold in the remaining flour along with a good squirt of the orange jam
  6. Divide the batter between the two cake pans and then cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked right through
  7. Leave to cool, then remove from the cake pans and make your chocolate frosting
  8. Beat the cream cheese and chocolate spread together to make a smooth chocolate cream
  9. Place one sponge onto your cake plate and spread some of the orange jam over it
  10. On the other sponge, cover with the the chocolate frosting and then sandwich the two together
  11. Place the chocolate in a bowl and melt - I put mine in the microwave for 30 sec blasts (took about 90 secs to melt)
  12. 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.
  13. Enjoy :)
