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.

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.
This cake can be made for any parties as well.. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
