Method

Cut jelly discs to match the cake diameter and place one on each cooled sponge.

Melt the chocolate over simmering water and pour over the cakes until set.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Whisk eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water for 5 minutes until fluffy.

Beat in the flour until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Half-fill a 12-hole muffin tin and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden.

Mix jelly, marmalade, and boiling water until smooth, then chill in a tray until set.
