Serve sliced with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of extra marmalade for added flavor.

The cake can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before serving.

Add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate over the cooled cake for an extra chocolate kick.
Substitute dark chocolate with orange-flavored white chocolate for a sweeter twist.
Use agar agar powder to create a vegetarian-friendly gelatin layer if replicating a Jaffa cake texture.
FAQ
Q: Can I use regular orange marmalade instead of Seville orange?
A: Yes, but Seville orange marmalade offers a distinctive slightly bitter flavor that balances the sweetness better.
Q: Is this cake suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, this recipe is vegetarian. To mimic the jelly layer of Jaffa cakes, consider adding agar agar as a vegetarian gelatin substitute.
Q: How do I know when the cake is done baking?
A: Insert a skewer or toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
