FAQs

  • Can I make this cake ahead of time?
    Yes, you can bake the cake a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container until you’re ready to assemble.
  • How should I store leftovers?
    Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Can I substitute the orange with another fruit?
    Yes, you can use lemon or lime for a different flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the filling, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest until smooth.
  8. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the orange filling on top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top.
  9. To make the chocolate glaze, heat the cream in a small saucepan until just boiling. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
  10. Pour the glaze over the top of the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate with orange slices if desired.
  11. Slice and serve your Giant Jaffa Orange Cake!

lamb and haricot bean stew

Breton braised lamb & haricot beans

Put the beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Add the quartered onion, the halved carrot and halved celery, the bay leaves, parsley stalks and peppercorns. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 mins until the beans are soft. Drain well and reserve the cooking liquid, discarding the onion, carrot and celery.

While the beans are cooking, heat half the olive oil in a heavy-based flameproof casserole. Brown the lamb in batches over a high heat. As each batch is cooked, remove it and set aside on a plate. Reduce the heat, add the chopped onion to the pan with the diced celery and carrot and cook until well coloured. Add the garlic and cook for another couple of mins.

Return the lamb to the pan and add all the remaining ingredients, except the beans. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to very low and cover, then cook for 2 hrs. Add the beans 45 mins before the end of cooking time. Stir the lamb round every so often. If the lamb looks dry, add some of the bean cooking liquid.

Remove the lid for the last 30 mins of cooking time, and season. This helps the cooking liquid to reduce. You should end up with a thick stew of tender lamb and soft beans. Scatter over the parsley and serve.
