A former Great British Bake Off (GBBO) winner has baked The World 's largest Jaffa Cake, for a second time.

Frances Quinn , who won GBBO in 2013, used More Than 160 eggs, 8kg (18lb) of Dark Chocolate and 15kg (33lb) of jelly for The Creation .

The biscuit has a diameter of 175cm (69in), beating her own Guinness World Record set in 2017.

Ms Quinn baked the Jaffa Cake at the McVities bakery in High Wycombe , Buckinghamshire, for a TV show.

The cake was served to guests and crew at the live semi-finals of ITV's Britain's Got Talent.

The record-breaking cake took 11 hours to make from start to finish, was the equivalent of More Than 6,557 regular-sized Jaffa Cakes and weighed in at 80kg (176lb).

Ms Quinn said: " It was an absolute pleasure to partner with McVitie's to beat the record I set five years ago. "
