Jaffa’ Cake
Ingredients
The Cake
4 tbsp oat flour
28g aquafaba (chickpea water)
3 tbsp sugar of choice
1 tbsp nut butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
Salt
1 tsp vinegar
Vanilla
Splash plant milk
The Jam
1 heaped tbsp smooth apricot jam
1 heaped tbsp smooth orange marmalade
The Ganache
8 squares dark chocolate
4 tbsp almond yog
Splash hot water
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C
Cream together the nut butter and sugar until you have a paste
Add the vanilla and a splash of plant milk so you have more of a watery paste
Add the flours, baking powder and salt to the mix and set aside
Whip the aquafaba to stiff peaks
Incorporate the aquafaba into the flour mix and carefully mix so you don’t knock the air out of the mix
Add the vinegar and mix well
Add to a mini lined cake tin and bake for 18-20 mins or until it springs back
Leave to cool, then slice in half. Mix the jam and marmalade together, and spread evenly across both layers
Put the layers back together, then use a serrated knife to remove rough edges
Melt your chocolate, add the plain yog and mix well until they are well combined
Add a splash of hot water and mix well – do this until you have a drizzly icing
Pour the icing over the cake, put it onto a plate and top with orange rind and a pinch of Maldon salt
Set in the fridge for at least 30 mins and serve
