extra Jaffas for decoration

1. soften butter and add sugar. beat with a wooden spoon until light and creamy. add vanilla and eggs.

2. sift flour and baking powder into this mixture. add orange juice and crushed Jaffas. do not over-mix.

3. line a 12 cup muffin tin with pretty paper cases. pour mixture into cases.

4. bake at 180 C or 350 F for 20 mins or until cooked. cool in tin for 10 mins. remove and ice. place extra jaffas on each cake.

Orange Icing:
