Dry jelly is an excellent base for homemade cakes and desserts. From it you can make a cake, pie, charlotte, soufflé or cream cake. We offer you a recipe for jelly pie according to a forgotten recipe from Soviet times. Previously, dry jelly was sold in a briquette weighing about 200 grams. In our supermarkets, such semi-finished products are sold in the form of a dry mix weighing 35 grams. Choose jelly with a bright color and slight sourness. Cranberry, cherry or wild berries are perfect.
For the cake, we used high-quality butter, which can be replaced with coconut. For the recipe, white wheat flour or a gluten-free mixture is allowed. For baking, you will need a metal or silicone mold. The perfect cake will come out in a cupcake pan with a hole in the center (baking will be even). For flavor, vanilla, zest and frozen berries are allowed in the dough.
