An essential part of any lucky British child's lunchbox!

A little spongy chocolatey cake with a hidden tangy orangey bit...Jaffa Cakes are circular and consist of three layers: a sponge cake base, a layer of orange flavoured jam and a coating of dark chocolate. The orangey bit forms a bump on the top of the cake under the chocolate and the chocolatey top is stamped with a crisscross pattern

McVitie and Price first introduced the Jaffa Cake in 1927 following the success of the chocolate digestive. Its creation is largely credited to John Langlands, a director of McVitie and Price at the time. The cakes were named for Jaffa oranges.

I love Jaffa Cakes, especially the orangey bit. I am certain that the sponge layer used to be harder and crunchier when we were children...or maybe they were always staler when we ate them then? Or maybe I am imagining it? Who knows??!

Made from felt and stuffed with polyfil. Completely hand sewn and stuffed.

Please note that as each biscuit is hand cut, embroidered and sewn, the crisscross pattern and orange "bump" may very slightly in each piece.
