Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles When I were just a lad, Jaffa Cakes were IT! Yep, I used to get them in my lunchbox Aah, that's nice! And today we're going to recreate them! As you can see, very few ingredients, it's a very simple recipe. We've got flour egg and sugar to make the sponge to our jaffa cakes we've got orange jelly which we're going to enhance with orange juice as well and chocolate I can't tell you how excited I am that we're finally making jaffa cakes I know... For the first time! Now what we're going to do is crack 2 eggs and caster sugar into a bowl We've got over a pan of simmering water And whisk. Thank you! By using the machine it makes it a lot easier because you have to do it for a long time We're looking for about 6-8 minutes Until it's at a ribbon stage, and over simmering water partially cooks those eggs. In the meantime, Michael We're going to do jelly Ooo he called you Michael You've been a bad boy... Water into here about three hundred ml along with orange jelly. Now obviously this is just pre-bought orange jelly If you can break that up into there so it dissolves What do jaffa cakes mean for you? Well they're orange chocolate biscuits. Yeah but do you remember them growing up? I used to have a tube of 3 that I used to have in my packed lunch when I was at primary school. I remember the advert when you got the 'full moon', 'half moon' Total eclipse! These jaffa cakes are going to be huge because we're going to make them in muffin tins So they are a much bigger size We're also going to add extra orange flavour into our sponge In the form of zest And our orange juice goes into there as well, so it's really souped up orange jelly and a souped up orange sponge Souped up? When does the soup go in? As in super Ah ok It's so orangey! I love fresh citrus fruits. So as soon as you're happy that all the jelly bits have dissolved then pour it into a tray that's lined with cling film so you get a layer of jelly That can be put into a fridge to set up. Now, speaking from experience, do that carefully because you don't want to spill that everywhere that's not the fridge Nope, but here's some I made earlier Ah, look... Mr Blue Peter There we go, super jelly that's just in sheet form Will you stop saying the word 'super'? That's about the 5th time so far! Pretty good jelly that's in sheet form And now hopefully, there we go nice, thick ribbon stage That took no time I knew you were going to do that What are you doing? Turn it off! You're pushing it the wrong way! And now we can fold in our flour, so you can see how much air is in there now, that just started off as 2 eggs and a bit of sugar Now we can put in our flour, carefully fold it in spoon this into muffin tins, I've just lightly greased them so it doesn't stick and we literally need this much in each - just enough to cover the bottom they will continue to rise in the oven Jaffa Cakes aren't that thick, are they? No, this should be the same consistency as a Jaffa Cake when you eat it It's kind of a slightly chewy soft awesome sponge Really light and fluffy mmm doing a grand job there Ben What we're doing is just demonstrating for the guys at home how easy this is. This can go into an oven, Mike, 180 degrees Celcius for 10 minutes... Jamie... And then in the meantime we can melt some chocolate come back, and finish our cakes of jaffa! Ooo cakes of jaffa! Now that our sponges have cooked, and had time to cool We've just kind of eased around the edge to loosen them off So that you end up with our sponge biscuit base but leave them in the muffin tins. Fantastic! Now we can come to our jelly, which is obviously our middle layer... A little cutter Just a little bit smaller than the circles and then we just cut out jelly It really is that simple! Do you want to put one on each sponge, we should end up with something that looks like that I think that's the best part of a Jaffa Cake Look at that wobble! Although it does drive me mad, have you seen Barry eat a Jaffa Cake? He nibbles all the chocolate off Then all the cake, so you're left with all the jelly bit That's how you eat Jaffa Cakes If you read the back of a packet of Jaffa Cakes, in the instructions It says deconstruct the Jaffa Cake I don't believe you... I want to hear from you guys, how do you eat your Jaffa Cakes? Comment below in the comment box, I want to know exactly how you eat your jaffa cakes and finally, perhaps the best part of the Jaffa Cake Dark chocolate, and all you need to do is dribble loads of it on and then ease it to the edge quite quickly before the jelly melts like so You've even got the lump on top! That's the jelly Yeah, I know but that's what That's what Jaffa Cakes look like! Yeah, these look like amazing jaffa cakes except they are bigger and better So we just whack these in a fridge straight after. Yeah you can leave them at room temperature, the chocolate will set But we want to speed that up, it'll be even easier We'll put them in a fridge to setup. Meanwhile Fortunately we have some we've already done and these ones have already set YES Lovely So we can scoop them out, and grab ourselves a plate then just ease them out and I reckon we'll stack them up This is just one of many desserts, cakes and biscuits Isn't it Jamie? Do you know what, funnily enough it is. It's one of just many desserts, cakes and biscuits we've done before make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, it's SORTED Food - we bring you them every week!
