In less than ten days I’ll be a real grown up 30 years old. And every birthday needs a cake, well at least one. I might try for multiple cakes this years since it’s the big three-oh, and heck, why not? I got it into my head that I might want a jaffa-flavoured mudcake for one of my celebrations. It seems a little odd to bake your own birthday cake(s) so I won’t be doing that. But I can bake non-birthday jaffa-flavoured cakes right? And that I did.
I took Donna Hay’s muddy chocolate cake recipe and added the juice and rind of one orange. I might add a little more of each next time, for some extra jaffa flavour. The cake was a hit and I may or may not have had four pieces over the past three days.
HOLY DOOLEY, this cake sounds amazing *drool* I haven’t had breakfast yet, and now I am craving CAKE.

Did you add the juice before you cooked cake or after? When did you add it? Did it mess with the original recipe?
Hi Tom,
Before and no, not at all.
