Ingredients – base (makes 12)

• 60g Caster sugar
• 50g Dairy/soya free spread (I use vitalite)
• 1 cap orange essence
• 60g Dove’s gluten free white bread flour
• 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder
• 1-3 tbsp orange juice

Ingredients – Topping

• 1/4 pint orange juice
• 20g caster sugar
• 1/2 cap of orange essence
• 1/2 tsp vegeset (or other vegan setting powder) or gelatin powder
• 35g dairy/soya free chocolate such as zero zebra plain chocolate
• (If you want them to have more chocolate on than those pictured just add more chocolate)

Instructions

• Turn oven on to 180oc so it can pre-heat
• Grease a 12 dimple bun/cake tin
• Whisk together the caster sugar and the dairy/soya free spread until light and fluffy in a bowl
• Whisk in the orange essence, baking powder and flour and then slowly add the orange juice until the mixture is like soft cake mix
• Spoon roughly 1 tsp of mixture into each dimple in the bun/cake tin (you don’t need a lot of mixture in each as you want them to be small and flat)
• Bake for 10-12 minutes
• Turn them out top down on to a cooling rack or wire to flatten off the tops
• Take the dimple tray wash it and run under the cold tap before putting it in the fridge
• Put orange essence, orange juice, sugar and vegeset powder into a saucepan and bring to boil stirring all the time
• Pour jelly mixture into a jug and then pour a small amount of jelly mixture into each of the fridge cold dimples, no more than about 1/2 a centimeter deep
• Once cool enough put in the fridge to cool and set properly
• Once the jelly is set and once the cakes have cooled and flattened you can marry the two up
• The Jelly should scoop out easily I used a silicone cake mix spatular to lift them out and pop them on to the flattened side of the cake base
• Once all the cakes have the jelly on top put them on a plate
• Melt the chocolate (either in a bowl over simmering water in a saucepan or in a bowl in a microwave on defrost setting)
• Spread small amounts of chocolate over each jelly covered cake this gets messy but it is part of the fun (I used the silicone cake mix spatular again for this)
• Put back in the fridge to set the chocolate
• You or you and your children can lick the various chocolate, jelly, cake mixture coated spoons and bowls while you wait for them to set
• Only takes about 5 minutes as the chocolate is a thin layer
• Now scoff (I couldn’t wait for them to come up to room temperature so I have know idea what they are like not cold)
