Chocolate Dipped Jaffa Cake Cupcakes Recipe | Cupcake Jemma

If you've joined our Bake Club, you will have seen Dane testing these Jaffa cake cupcakes last week, so we OBVS had to share the recipe! Sally's showing you just how it's done and we think you'll agree, they look INSANE! Light vanilla sponge filled with delish orange marmalade, topped with a decadent orange ganache, a thick slab of orange jelly, all dunked in dark chocolate - what's not to love!?
You can grab the nozzles, piping bags and cupcake cases Sally used in the video at the link below

Oooh I’m going to make these with cherry jelly! And lime because I love lime 😅

[@tammiemartinez6485]

Okay. Where does one buy jelly cubes? The only types of jelly candies I've seen here in the US are the ones that have sugar on them. For the dipped chocolate. If I can't find the cocoa butter can I just use a few tsps of corn syrup? I've used it before with an actual ganache to fill cookies so that shine is still there once the ganache sets/dries. Just want to make sure it'll be okay. Seeing those jelly rounds stay put as you dipped then shook the excess off was satisfying but also made my heart skip a beat, lol. Nicely done Sally... 👍

[@shibzzi]

How long does it take for the ganache to set into the spreadable consistency (before you need to whisk it)? Thanks ☺️

[@lillianlouie4284]

I’d love a bite!!!

[@gemmalouise4345]

Can’t wait to try theses my fiancé loves Jaffa cakes. Just hope I can make them my jammy dodger ones didn’t come out well. Would you keep theses cupcakes in the fridge?

[@CupcakeJemma]

Well I know for a fact they will love these cupcakes! You can keep them in an airtight container at room temp, we don't recommend leaving cupcakes in the fridge as they tend to dry out quite quickly!

[@shibzzi]

Okay so I made these today and I encountered a few issues:- 1. I used 54% dark chocolate for the ganache, just as you did, along with orange-infused cream but when I whipped it, even though it was soft and whippy as in the video, it didn't pipe properly (even though I've never had issues piping blobs like in the video before!) So I ended up having to use a small palette knife to spread it out 2. My jelly discs just did not set into the ganache (even after 2.5 hours!) so in the end I had to spoon the melted chocolate on so it didn't end up looking as neat and the whole of the cupcake ended up covered rather than just the most part of the ganache 3. Even though I used 300g of 54% dark chocolate with a tablespoon of melted cacao butter, as per the video, my chocolate set pretty quickly (to the point that I had to mark with a fork before I could coat the sides) and it didn't stay shiny after it set I honestly don't understand how I could have followed the recipe and ended up with a slightly different result. I should add that it would be really helpful if you could give an indication of the rest/chill times (e.g. for the orange-infused cream, for the ganache and for the jelly discs) as omitting this makes it really difficult for us to plan ahead. It took me 5.5 hours in the end to make this with all the waiting times in between and I genuinely did not expect that to be the case having watched the video. On another note, I really did not enjoy the jelly on top 🙈 I appreciate that it would not be a Jaffa cupcake without the jelly but it's definitely a no from me. I'm glad I've given it a go but it's not one I'll be baking again!

[@nancynelson5762]

[@jackybraun2705]

That ganache sounds amazing. It would be good on so many things. Trying to imagine the texture of the jelly, is it like jelly (jello) or is it chewier like a jelly candy. Seems hard to eat, but definitely would like to give it a try.

[@hannahpenwright708]

@@hannahpenwright708 Thanks. I'm Canadian and have no idea what those jellies are. Are they a candy? I don't think we have those here?

@@3kylajsmith the block she dissolved in water is the same as powdered jello, which we'd normally dissolve in more water but for the recipe they need to be thicker so sally made them stronger. I tried one last night and they were still soft!

[@donnaanselmo7626]

You came so close to answering one of my questions - when recipes say 75g of double cream or whatever, are you actually weighing out 75g or are you using 75mL and assuming it weighs 1g/mL like water does? We don't have double cream where I am so when I get to those parts of your recipes I basically have to guess a little

Can you explain what double cream is? Do you think it’s the same as heavy whipping cream? (Said the confused American🙇‍♀️) I’ve always assumed so but now need to know for sure!

[@sonie8964]
