Jelly Cakes
  1. Dissolve jelly crystals in the boiling water, then add the cold water

  2. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, until thickened and partly set (but still runny) and prepare the patty cakes

  3. Heat oven to 180°C or 350°F

  4. Lightly spray 2 patty pan tins

  5. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes on high)

  6. Reduce speed and gradually add the egg, then vanilla and mix well

  7. With the mixer on low, add the flour , then the milk alternately, a third at a time. Mix until just combined

  8. Place a heaped tablespoon (or medium cookie scoop) of mixture into pans then bake for 15 mins, until lightly golden and cooked through

  9. Cool in pans for 5-10 mins, then gently twist each cake to release it from the pan. Place the cakes flat side down onto a cake rack to cool completely

  10. If necessary, cut the dome off the top of each cake (otherwise they won't sandwich together nicely). Enjoy the cut-offs, or use them for making cake pops.

  11. Place all ingredients into a small jug or bowl

  12. Use a stick blender or hand blender to beat until stiff

  13. Place into a piping bag fitted with a 1M nozzle, or just snip off the end of the bag, ready to pipe onto the cakes

  14. Dip each cake into the thickened jelly, then toss them straight into the coconut. Set aside and whip the cream

  15. Make the Chantilly cream by whipping the cream, vanilla and caster sugar until stiff

  16. To the flat side of each cake, pipe a large spoonful of Chantilly cream, then sandwich together with the remaining half

  17. Refrigerate jelly cakes for 30 minutes, then serve.
