A woman has shared her recipe for making a giant Jaffa Cake at home as supermarket shelves have been stripped bare amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis. Pictured, the finished product

How to make a Jaffa Cake at home 

Ingredients 
  • 100g butter
  • 100g sugar
  • 100g flour
  • Two eggs
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1 packet orange jelly 
  • 1 bar of dark chocolate   
Vanesa started by baking the base using the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs (left). She used a circular baking tin in order to give the cake its shape. Right, the orange jelly

Method
1. Make the sponge base by whisking the eggs and sugar together for 4-5 minutes until pale and fluffy, then fold in the flour gently but thoroughly. 
2. Bake for 7-9 minutes until the sponge is a light golden colour, puffy and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
3. Place the jelly in a small heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir until the jelly has completely dissolved. Pour on the base to set. 
4. Gently melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then cover the jelly, leave to cool and thicken slightly. 
Vanessa then poured the jelly on top of the squidgy base and left it to set (pictured). Another user suggested mixing orange marmalade into the jelly in order to enhance the flavour
