Belmont Jaffa Cakes

What is it?

Small rounds of sponge cake topped with orange-flavoured jelly and coated in dark chocolate. The base is soft and airy, then you get a sticky citrus layer before the chocolate shell. They’re sold as biscuits, even though the format is closer to a little cake. Belmont’s version sits in Aldi’s snack range alongside other biscuit-style treats, but it follows the classic British Jaffa Cake template rather than a filled sandwich biscuit or plain cookie. Eat them straight from the packet, or let them sit a moment so the chocolate softens.
