At the weekend Mary and Paul turned up and set me a technical challenge to create some Jaffa cakes. Didn't look too difficult so dug out the jelly and chocolate and gave it a go.
Now we all know Mary (aka Win) loves to provide 'help' and 'direction' in the kitchen so it wasn't long before she was also elbow deep in chocolate.
Soon after Paul (aka Mark) had also rolled up his sleeves and was stroking the tops of the Jaffa Cakes, trying to get a smooth finish, using a cocktail stick.
Verdict: This is probably the most difficult recipe I've tackled so far. The fact that the "Great British Bake Off" used it to challenge contestants isn't surprising since although the ingredients are very simple the construction of the jaffa cake is tricky.
The final cakes were pleasant however the effort is not worth the outcome and I’ll be sticking to McVitie's in future.
