Steps:
- Place the sugar, and orange juice into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved, sprinkle the gelatine on top and stir it in. Do not boil.
- Line a muffin pan with aluminium foil, then pour 1 tablespoon of the orange mixture into each hole. Chill for 1 - 2 hours until set.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- In a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water, add the eggs and sugar and beat using a hand mixer until pale and frothy - about 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in the vanilla, and fold in the flour.
- Remove the jelly and foil from the muffin pan. Grease the pan for the cake mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, about 1 tablespoon of batter per muffin hole.
- Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cool, gently remove the jellies from the foil. I shaped out smaller circles from the centre of the jellies before gently pulling them off the foil. You don't have to, but I wanted my jelly slightly smaller than the cakes.
- Microwave the chocolate until melted and smooth, stirring every 10 - 20 seconds. Allow to cool slightly, then using a spoon, spread the chocolate over the tops of the jelly, gently spreading to the edges of the cakes.
- For looks, gently press the tines of a fork on top of the chocolate and lift up. Leave to set.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
- Grease a shallow muffin tin with the butter and set it aside.
- Break up the tablet of jelly cubes and place into a heatproof bowl or jug. Cover with the boiling water and stir well until the jelly dissolves.
- Stir in the marmalade and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the jelly is cooling, line a 10- by 10-inch tray or Pyrex square bowl with plastic wrap. Pour in the jelly mixture and place in the refrigerator to set, which will take about 45 minutes.
- Place the egg and sugar into a bowl and, using an electric hand mixer, beat until light, creamy, and pale in color.
- Sift the self-rising flour into the bowl. Using a metal tablespoon, fold the sifted flour into the egg mixture.
- Drop a generous tablespoon of batter into each cup of the muffin tin. Tap the tin gently on the worktop before placing it in the center of the preheated oven.
- Bake until golden and slightly firm (the sponge should spring back when pressed lightly), 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing the biscuits and placing them on a cooling rack.
- While the sponge is cooking, melt the chocolate . Put a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Add the chocolate and leave it to melt. If you must stir, use a wooden spoon, never a metal one.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat as soon as it's melted and leave to cool. As the chocolate cools it will thicken and eventually harden so it may need to be heated slightly before covering the cakes.
- Take the tray of jelly from the fridge. Lift out the plastic wrap with the jelly and place onto a worktop. Using a pastry cutter, cut discs of the orange jelly slightly smaller than the cakes. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, lay a disc of jelly onto the domed uppermost surface.
- Once the chocolate is cool, spoon some over the surface of each cookie. The chocolate will run off of the sides a little but do not worry; that is the homemade look you want.
- Place each biscuit on the cooling rack as you complete them.
- Serve and enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- For the cakes, bring a little water to the boil in a pan, then reduce the heat until the water is simmering. Suspend a heatproof bowl over the water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water). Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl and beat continuously for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture is pale, fluffy and well combined.
- Add the flour, beating continuously, until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Half-fill each well in a 12-hole muffin tin with the cake batter. Transfer the tin to the oven and bake the cakes for 8-10 minutes, or until pale golden-brown and cooked through (the cakes are cooked through when a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.) Remove from the oven and set the cakes aside, still in their tray, until cool.
- Meanwhile, for the filling, in a bowl, mix together the jelly, marmalade and boiling water until the jelly has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour the filling mixture into a shallow-sided baking tray or large dish to form a 1cm/½in layer of jelly. Set aside until completely cooled, then chill in the fridge until set.
- When the jelly has set and the cakes have cooled, cut small discs from the layer of jelly, equal in diameter to the cakes. Sit one jelly disc on top of each cake.
- Bring a little water to the boil in a pan, then reduce the heat until the water is simmering. Suspend a heatproof bowl over the water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water). Add the chocolate and stir until melted, smooth and glossy, then pour over the cakes. Set aside until the melted chocolate has cooled and set.

Steps:
- First, make the orange jelly. Put the jelly cubes and marmalade (if using) in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour in the orange juice and 100ml boiling water, then stir until the jelly cubes have dissolved. Pour the mix into a shallow baking tray (ours was 25 x 20cm) lined with cling film - it should come about ½cm up the side. Chill for 2 hrs or overnight until set.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter a shallow 12-hole cupcake tin. Tip the egg and sugar into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 5 mins until pale and fluffy. Or, do this in a stand mixer. Sift over the flour, add the orange zest and fold gently until there are no more pockets of flour. Spoon 1 tbsp into each hole of the tin and gently spread to the edges using the back of the spoon. Bake for 8-9 mins until the sponge is golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 2 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Invert the set jelly onto a board, remove the cling film and stamp out discs using a 5cm round cutter. Flip the sponges over so the flat side is facing up, then top each with a jelly disc. Tip the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt in short bursts in the microwave, or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Spoon 1-2 tsp of the melted chocolate over each disc of jelly, spreading it gently to cover. Leave to set for 2-3 mins, then gently press the tines of a fork into the chocolate. Leave to set for 1 hr before serving. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

- 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 12x8in tray.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 12-hole, shallow bun tin with butter.
- For the sponge, whisk the egg and sugar together for 4-5 minutes until pale and fluffy, then gently fold in the flour. Fill each well in the bun tin three-quarters full (about a dessert spoonful per hole) and smooth the tops.
- To assemble, break the chocolate into pieces then melt in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool and thicken slightly.
- Turn the jelly out onto a sheet of non-stick baking parchment. Cut 12 discs from the orange jelly using a 2in round cutter. Sit one jelly disc on top of each sponge.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the jelly discs. Using the tips of the tines of a fork or a skewer, lightly press to create a criss-cross pattern on top of the chocolate, then leave to set completely.
