We prefer to use a granulated sweetener which is natural, has no nasty after taste, and weighs the same as sugar. They tend to cost a little more but they’re definitely worth it, and you’ll use less than the powdered variety of sweetener – there are a few brands available in the shops, so find one that suits you! What started as an experiment ended in one of my most popular desserts, at least with my family, and I can see why — Jaffa cakes are marvelously complex and delicious.

Of course, creating a convincing home-baked version of a bought one is complicated, but you get it once you separate all its parts. Spray 12 muffin moulds with some low calorie cooking spray and divide the sponge mix equally between them. My mini Jaffa sandwich cakes are filled with lightly boozy, homemade orange-Cointreau jelly. Made with just 3 ingredients (orange or clementine juice; Cointreau orange liqueur; and gelatine), it is super-special, yet very simple. Obviously… If sharing any Jaffa Cake Cake with the kids, leave out the Cointreau and sub with the same quantity of extra juice.The third element is the orangecookie filling, and mixing orange juice with vanilla wafers has been one of the most adventurous things I had done, but it tastes great!

Once your Jaffa cake is all rolled up and ready to serve, you’ll know your baking skills are at another level, so be proud! This one is a cake to impress, so there’s no time to waste. Let’s get started! For the jelly, break the jelly into pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour over the boiling water and stir until the jelly is completely dissolved. Add the orange zest, then pour into a shallow 30x20cm/12x8in tray. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour, or until set. Make the filling! Heat orange juice, orange zest, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering and the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder into the juice while whisking vigorously and continuously. Pour the jelly into an un-greased 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Chill for at least one hour until set and firm to the touch.

Before you think I have favorites, I don’t. I love all my baking projects, but some are just fun, and that’s the case with my Jaffa cakeroll. Because McVitie's did not register the name "Jaffa Cakes" as a trademark, other biscuit manufacturers and supermarkets have made similar products under the same name.
