The recipe takes inspiration in the famous soft, orange & choc biscuits named jaffa cakes. We loved those so we made vegan jaffa cakes.

Ingredients

  • Orange jelly
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1/4 cup orange syrup

  • few drops orange oil

  • 1 tsp agar-agar

  • Biscuits
  • 6 tbsp aquafaba

  • 1/4 tsp turmeric

  • 1/4 cup caster cocoa sugar

  • 1/2 cup flour

  • Chocolate glaze
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan dark chocolate

Directions

  • Orange jelly
  • Mix the orange jelly ingredients and bring to boil. After boiling cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Put the food grade foil in a small tray and pour the mixture in it. You might use the tray without foil but foil makes it easy to remove the jelly later on.
  • Cool in the fridge for 15 minutes so jelly becomes firm. In the mean time prepare the biscuits and chocolate.
  • Biscuits
  • Mix aquafaba, turmeric and caster cocoa sugar in a bowl. Beat for 6-8 minutes.
  • Add flour to the mixture and mix gently with spatula.
  • Pour the biscuit mixture in the muffin baking tray. There should be just enough mixture for 12 biscuits, so 12 muffin baking tray is perfect.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 350º F.
  • Final combo
  • Flip all biscuits in the baking tray so you won’t have a hard time removing them later on.
  • Use a small glass to cut the jelly in circles.
  • Put one jelly on each biscuit in the tray.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and pour a bit of it on each biscuit.
  • Leave at room temperature until chocolate becomes firm.
