How to Make Gigantic Jaffa Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.
- Meanwhile, prepare the orange jelly according to package directions. Pour onto the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Once the jelly is set, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the set jelly, ensuring it evenly coats the top.
- Refrigerate for an additional hour to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Once set, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and slice into generous portions. Serve and enjoy your Gigantic Jaffa Cake!
