MS CUPCAKE’S VEGAN JAFFA CAKES RECIPE + COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY!

If you’ve not heard of Jaffa Cakes before, they’re a classic British treat that is something between a cookie and a cake (a heavily debated topic) and consists of a spongey base, topped with a mound of orange marmalade and coated in chocolate. Pure chocolatey-orangey heaven.

Going vegan, over two years ago now, was always much easier than I thought it would be. It didn’t take me long to realise that most of the things I loved to eat had equally delicious alternatives, from dinners to desserts. However, Jaffa Cakes were one of the few things that there was no replacement for.

INGREDIENTS

• 100 g scant 1 cup self-raising flour
• 60 g 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 100 ml 1/3 cup + 4 tbsp soya or rice milk
• 50 ml 3 tbsp + 1 tsp light rapeseed or other flavourless oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or essence

FINISHING TOUCHES:

• 150 g 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, or a bar broken into pieces
• 50 g 3 tbsp + 1tsp dairy free margarine
• 1/2 orange grated zest
• 12-15 tsp orange marmalade

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Grease a bun tray. Preheat the oven to 180c/350F/gas 4.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and caster sugar. Add the milk, oil and vanilla, stirring until just combined. Drop a small spoonful of the batter into each of the holes in the prepared tray and bake for about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the tray for 2 minutes before turning the bases out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
