Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g self-raising flour
- 50g melted butter
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 ½ tbsp orange juice
- 3 tbsp apricot jam
- 100g dark chocolate
- 3 ½ gelatine leaves
- 225ml orange juice
Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and lining two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Sift in the self-raising flour and fold it in, then add the melted butter and orange zest. Pour the mixture into the baking trays and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice and apricot jam. Spread this mixture over the cooled sponges and place in the fridge for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Once melted, spread the chocolate over the sponges and leave to cool.
In a medium bowl, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 15 minutes. Once softened, add the orange juice and stir until the gelatine has dissolved. Pour the orange jelly over the sponges and leave to cool and set in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!
