Ingredients
- 1 small orange jelly tablet, about 135 g
- 150 ml boiling water
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g caster sugar
- 50 g plain flour
- 150 g dark chocolate
Method
Dissolve the jelly in the boiling water, pour into a shallow lined tray, and chill until firm.
Whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and pale, fold in the flour, and spoon into 12 greased shallow bun-tin wells.
Bake at 190 C, or 170 C fan, for 8 to 10 minutes, then cool and turn out.
Cut 12 jelly rounds slightly smaller than the cakes and place one on each sponge.
Melt and cool the chocolate until barely fluid. Spoon it over the jelly, mark each top with a fork, and leave to set.
