A delicious and moist gluten free Choc Orange Jaffa Cake. The perfect marble blend of tangy orange and smooth chocolate!
My family are always interested to see what type of pattern you get when you cut the first slice and yes, then the second and so on.... 😉
The tip to this recipe is to make sure you whip the sugar and eggs together till it is light and fluffy and then gradually add the oil. This way you get plenty of air bubbles in the mixture which will make a light and fluffy cake.
Gluten Free Choc Orange Jaffa Dessert!
The best part to making this cake is how it transforms into a delicious decadent dessert!
Simply cut the cake into cubes and place into a dessert bowl. Then squeeze over fresh orange juice so that each choc orange cube is drench in orange juice. Then add freshly whipped cream and grate over chocolate and serve with a wedge of orange. A very easy dessert that tastes amazing with the tang of orange!!
