Jelly Cakes

 
This is one of  recipe which i wanted to bake for a very long time. This is kylie kwong's recipe, yesterday i saw her cooking show and she made this, I remembered this and luckily i had all the ingredients on hand so i don't have to run to near by shop.

What is Jelly Cakes?

Jelly cake was initially recorded as jelly in Hannah Glasses 18th- century book The Art of Cookery, where it appeared in a layer of trifle. In the nineteenth century, English cuisine writers Eliza Acton and Isabella Beeton included jelly in their best-selling cookbooks.
 
Jelly is created by extracting fruit juice and thickening it with sugar and pectin (natural or synthetic) to form a solid but spreadable consistency. It's most commonly used with entire fruits with seeds or skins, such as grapes, cranberries, and raspberries.

I am telling you, this is one of the must try recipe. You have to try it out for sure. It is so good and so easy. Specially when you have kids around they will love this for sure.

Ingredients For jelly cakes

Jelly Powder : Reduce the liquid content, concentrate the flavor, and thicken the mixture.

Desiccated Coconut : Desiccated coconut can be used as coating in both savoury and sweet recipes to give them a coconut flavour and texture.

Unsalted Butter : You have complete control over the overall flavour of your recipe when you use unsalted butter. This is especially crucial in baked dishes that rely heavily on the pure, sweet cream flavour of butter (butter cookies or pound cakes) Unsalted butter allows the true, natural flavour of your goods to
shine through when cooking.

Vanilla Essence : It enhances all the other flavors in the recipe.

How to Make Jelly Cakes

  • Start by making the jelly as per package directions and put it in fridge to set, the jelly shouldn't set completely it should be still little liquidy so we can dip the cakes in this.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Grease a 12 cup nonstick cupcake cases with oil and set aside. This will make around 20 mini cakes.
  • Take flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Now take butter, vanilla and sugar in a bowl and whip till creamy. Add in egg and whip again.
  • Now add in ⅓rd of the flour mix and ⅓rd of the milk and fold gently. Keep alternating the flour and mix and fold everything well.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into each muffin mould, don't fill too much just a tblspn of batter is enough.
  • Bake this for 10 mins. Remove it from oven and cool down a little. remove the cakes from oven and cool down completely.
  • Now take the jelly from fridge and dip the cakes in it, roll it in coconut and set aside in a plate.
  • Now store this in a container in fridge
