Add the orange zest, then pour into a shallow 30x20cm/12x8in tray. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour, or until set. As I said at the time, and memory serves that it was a press conference in Westminster’s QEII Centre (although it might just have been a press release): “We needed to establish the mean duration of the individual dunk episode of the average Briton. This was then combined with the time it took for each brand of biscuit wholly to dissolve in tea. And thus we calculated the perfect amount of time for the dunking operation.”

And so is this recipe. The GLUTEN FREE genoise sponge is airy and softer than you get from a commercial Jaffa. It’s amply topped with a layer of zesty citrus orange jelly and a generous slathering of dark chocolate. Without a doubt, cake… and without a doubt, delicious.

Don’t cut corners here… It’s essential that you whisk the eggs and sugar until the batter forms a lasting trail of mixture across the surface (that remains visible for a few seconds) when the whisk is lifted. Custard Creams, we discovered, were an absolute disaster unless you want a teacup full of sludge and slurry.

While orange is the traditional Jaffa flavour, you don’t have to follow the rules! You can make YOUR gluten free Jaffa Cakes any way you choose. Why not: It’s the greatest outrage in food since the horsemeat scandal of 2013. In case you missed it, research was published this week claiming that the Jaffa Cake is the most dunkable biscuit.

Fold the flour into the mix gently, but lightly and high to retain as much air as possible. And be careful not to over-mix.
