Provided by Simon Rimmer

Categories     Cakes and baking

Yield Makes 12 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 free-range eggs
50g/2oz caster sugar
50g/2oz plain flour, sieved
1 x 135g/4¾oz packet orange jelly, chopped
1 tbsp orange marmalade
125ml/4½fl oz boiling water
200g/7oz good quality dark chocolate, minimum 70 per cent cocoa solids, broken into pieces

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.

  • 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.
