I’ll deal with the latter point first. That a Jaffa Cake is not a biscuit is rather suggested by its name. And also by law.

Made with a light, gluten free Genoise sponge, tangy citrus jelly and topped with dark chocolate, they are easier to make than you think. They’re dairy free too! They were famously classed as a chocolate-covered cake rather than a biscuit at a famous tribunal in 1991 after McVitie's argued it was a cake which meant it didn't have to pay VAT on them. Remember to lightly grease the muffin pan, so that the sponge cakes release easily after baking. You can use a light smear of butter (or dairy free alternative) or oil for this. We prefer to use a granulated sweetener which is natural, has no nasty after taste, and weighs the same as sugar.
