Chocolate Orange Jaffa Cake Loaf

Chocolate Orange Jaffa Cake Loaf



Makes: 1 9lb loaf

Ingredients:

  • 140g butter, room temperature
  • 170g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tbsp milk
  • 200g self raising flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • zest of 2 oranges, finely grated
  • 3 tbsp orange juice
  • 30g caster sugar
  • 75g dark chocolate

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4. 
  2. Lightly butter and line the loaf tin. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy (roughly 2 minutes). 
  3. One by one, add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Add the milk. Then fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and make sure all flour is incorporated. Stir in the zest from two oranges. 
  4. Spoon the mix into the prepared tin and level the top of batter. Bake for 40 mins or until golden brown and firm to touch. 
  5. Next, place the sugar and orange juice in a small pan over a light heat. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat to cool. 
  6. Once the cake is out of the oven, use a skewer to poke a dozen holes randomly in the loaf. Then spoon over the orange mixture. Allow the cake to cool in the tin, before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. 
  7. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave in 20 second increments. Drizzle the chocolate over the cake however you like before leaving it to set. Then serve!
