Hello food.....
This Jess's Messes
recipe is very easy really, and so effective, so definitely worth taking a
little extra time and making a special, stand out cake - rather than a normal
victoria sponge/chocolate cake! If you like Jaffa Cakes, this will be yum
beyond belief for you and it stops you feeling guilty for working through a
whole packet of 'biscuits' in one night, well that works for me anyway! :)

What do I need?
125g Butter
125g Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
125g Flour
300ml Orange Juice
125g Caster Sugar
3 Leaves Gelatine
250g Dark Chocolate
250ml Double Cream
How do I do it?
1. Place orange juice
and sugar in a pan and heat slowly until sugar has dissolved, place gelatine
in warm water until soft and then add it to the orange juice, mis until
gelatine has disappeared, place in fridge to set.
2. Beat together butter and sugar
until thick and pale. Add eggs and beat in, fold in flour.
3. Grease and line a cake tin and
fill with mix. Place in oven at Gas mark 5/180˚C for 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, break the plain
chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
5. Place cream in a pan and bring
slowly to the boil. Pour over chocolate and whisk together until it goes
smooth. Place in fridge and leave to set.
6. When cake is cooked and cooled
place on plate.
7. Cover the middle of cake in
set jelly, place back in fridge for 10 minutes.
8. Cover the jelly and cake in
chocolate ganache. This could take a while to make it work properly.
9. Place in fridge and serve when
set! Lovely, lovely!
