Everyone knows Jaffa Cakes – a fluffy biscuit, topped with refreshing orange jelly and covered in a delicious chocolate shell! No refined sugars/flours and no to little oil. Treating yourself without the guilt-feeling.
Ingredients
Bisuit base:
½ cup almond flour (ground almonds)
⅓ cup GF all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
⅛ cup maple syrup
1 tsp orange zest, grated
½ tsp vanilla extract/essence
¼ cup plant-based milk
Orange jelly:
½ cup orange juice
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp orange zest, grated
1 tsp apple pectin OR agar agar
Coating:
200gr iChoc Almond-Orange Chocolate
Instructions
Place the dry ingredients into a sieve that sits on top of a bowl and sieve until all the flour is inside the bowl. Whisk together.
In a separate bowl, add all the remaining wet ingredients and mix together.
Slowly add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix together until you have a smooth batter.
Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F and slightly grease a muffin silicone tray.
Add about a heaping tablespoon into each mould until all the batter is gone (should make around 12).
Place them in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Once done, remove from the moulds and set aside.
In the meantime, prepare the jelly. Add all ingredients to a saucepan and boil over medium heat. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Place a drop of jelly on a baking sheet or into the cleaned muffin tray and set to chill in the fridge.
Once the jelly drops firmed up, place one drop on top of each biscuit.
Melt your chocolate and pour over each cake. Set back into the fridge and enjoy!
