Jelly Cakes
What is Jelly Cakes?
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
