Apologies straight up: I haven’t got a recipe for you today. As I mentioned in this post, things have been a rather busy round here of late and it doesn’t look likely to let up until we sort out our new flat and various other things. Busy in a good way though. There’s lots of smiling.
One major cause for smiles is the fact that we have a new oven. Just a cheapo unit to tide us over til the house move, but the temperature gauge works and it doesn’t leak over 50% of it’s heat directly into the kitchen. In celebration, I made Jaffa cakes. Recipe’s still in development, so just photos for now. Wishing you all a wonderful week.
I’m so excited about these jaffa cakes – I can’t wait to see the recipe, they look so amazing. Hurrah for a new oven!
Thanks Emma, and yes, hurrah indeed! It’s so quiet compared to our old one that I have to keep checking that it’s actually on! 🙂
Oh, my! I looooove Jaffa Cakes. Can’t wait for the recipe 🙂
Yum! Can’t wait for the recipe. Loooove jaffa cakes 🙂
Looking forward to see how you make the orangey jelly bit in the middle – it’s my favourite bit of a jaffa cake!
Oooh they look fabulous! I can’t wait for the recipe.
I’m buzzing with anticipation. I must admit I’m with Helen, the intensely orange-y bit in the middle is the best part, I’ve never found or made a convincing substitute. Problem is if I learn, I’ll end up eating it with a spoon, and forgetting the rest of the jaffa cake!
Well, the recipe gives you a few trimmings from round each circle so you’d be in heaven! 🙂
THE most moreish snack on the UK, yet I’ve never seen anyone successfully make a proper jaffa cake on the internet. This blows that out of the water,and they look a lot thicker and orangier – welllllll cant wait for this recipe! Good luck with the moving business 🙂
Thanks Em! The filling is so good, as is the base – I always find real Jaffa Cake bases a little bit too dry.
I find that too! How else are they to keep the jaffas at 1g of fat per cake?!
Cardboard, thats how, delicious cardboard.
Oh no! I thought that I was going to find out what the filling is…
Great news about the new oven, though 🙂
Absolutely love jaffa cakes! can’t wait for a recipe!
This looks and sounds very interesting, can’t wait for the recipe. Good luck with all your new changes.
Look forward to the recipe! We need a new oven too, the light in the oven has gone. Forever. sigh..
OH EM GEE: my nickname is Trisha Jaffa Cake Jones. Because I love them. Can’t wait to see this recipe. they look so good x
Haha, I promise the recipe will come soon!
Did you ever have a chance to finish / post your recipe? The pics make it look yummy!
I’m afraid the recipe for these is going in the cookbook – out next year if you can wait that long! 🙂
