Jaffa cakes<\/h3>\n

Oh hey Jaffa Cakes… its been a while! In fact, I have only done one recipe using them<\/a> on my blog which is a bit of a travesty to be honest! This recipe is the beginning of changing that… Jaffa Cake cupcakes! <\/p>\n

I have had oodles and oodles of requests for another Jaffa Cake recipe and wasn’t really sure where to start… I have so many ideas and plans all of the time that I just had to randomly pick one. Cupcakes are always very popular, and I know you will all adore this recipe.  <\/p>\n

Cupcake<\/h3>\n

I thought the best base for these Jaffa Cake cupcakes would be a similar idea to my Oreo cupcakes<\/a> – for these that made it a hidden Jaffa Cake at the bottom of the cupcake case, a chocolate cupcake mixture with a hint of orange flavour, and orange flavoured chocolate buttercream frosting. <\/p>\n

Obviously, there there is a bit of decoration on top with some sprinkles and then a Jaffa Cake as well, but that’s a given! And before anyone says anything… yes I am aware that the original Jaffa Cake’s are technically apricot flavour. I went with orange. <\/p>\n

Jaffa flavours<\/h3>\n

I wanted the Jaffa cake on the bottom of the cupcake so that there was a bit more to this bake – I didn’t fancy trying to involve jelly in this (although there is an option mentioned below where you can core out some of the cupcake and fill it with jam\/marmalade instead! <\/p>\n

I gave the cupcakes and buttercream a hint of flavour with 1\/2 tsp of orange extract<\/a> each so that there was a hint of flavour, but not too much to make it too much of a ‘chocolate orange’ bake if that makes sense… just makes it a bit more fun then just chocolate! <\/p>\n

I used the basic Jaffa cakes, but there are always so many varying flavours of them now that you can use whichever you want, and then match the flavours to your choice. <\/p>\n

Baking cups and piping tips<\/h3>\n

I used my favourite orange polka dot baking cups<\/a> for these because I thought they suited the bake so so much, and I am in love! It brings out a bit more of the theme!! Obviously, the cupcake cases aren’t massively important but I try! <\/p>\n

I also used my favourite 2d closed star piping tip<\/a> because it creates the most beautiful swirl ever… I realise I pretty much only use this piping tip but that’s because I just love it beyond any other! <\/p>\n
