recipe | October 24, 2024

Ingredients

For the Fruit Jelly Layer:

  • Water: 3 cups
    • Sugar: 1 cup
    • Agar Agar: 20g
    • Fruits or Berries: 1-2 pieces of different kinds, peeled and cut into slices or cubes

For the Strawberry Jelly Layer:

  • Sugar: 1.5 tablespoons
  • Agar Agar: 10g

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit Jelly Layer

  1. Assemble the Cake: Pour a thin layer of the hot syrup into the bottom of your mold or cake pan. Then, arrange the fruit pieces in a pattern of your choice. This will be the top of your jelly cake, so take your time to create a design that looks beautiful! Gradually add the remaining fruit and pour the rest of the syrup over the top to cover the fruit completely.
  2. Chill the Jelly: Place the mold in a cool place, such as the refrigerator, for about 10 minutes to allow the jelly to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Jelly Layer

  1. Make the Strawberry Smoothie: In a separate saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup of strawberry purée, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, and 10g of agar agar. Mix the ingredients well.
  2. Boil the Mixture: Bring the strawberry mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar and agar agar are completely dissolved.
  3. Add the Strawberry Layer: Once the fruit jelly layer has set, pour the strawberry jelly over it. This adds a vibrant, sweet layer to your cake that complements the fruit beautifully.
  1. Chill Again: Place the mold back in the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberry layer has fully set.

Step 3: Serve the Jelly Cake

  1. Unmold the Jelly Cake: Once the jelly is fully set, gently turn it out onto a serving plate. The fruit layer will be on top, showcasing your beautiful arrangement of fruits.
  1. Enjoy: Mmm… how fresh and delicious! Serve your jelly cake chilled, and enjoy the refreshing combination of fruity flavors and smooth jelly texture.
