Ingredients
-
85g packet raspberry jelly crystals
-
1 cup water, boiling
-
Canola oil spray
-
Plain flour, for dusting
-
3 eggs
-
1/2 cup caster sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup self-raising flour
-
1/4 cup plain flour
-
1/4 cup cornflour
-
2 cups desiccated coconut
-
3/4 cup thickened cream
Chocolate filling
-
1/2 x 180g block dark chocolate, chopped
-
1/3 cup thickened cream
Equipment
-
Four 12-hole (1 1/2 tablespoon-capacity) round-based patty pans
Method
-
1Place jelly crystals in a heatproof jug. Add boiling water. Stir until crystals have dissolved. Stir in 200ml cold water. Stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until mixture becomes a thick, syrupy consistency.
-
2Meanwhile, preheat oven to 170C/ 150C fan-forced. Spray 4 x 12-hole, 1 1/2 tablespoon-capacity, round-based patty pans with oil. Dust lightly with flour. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar for 8 to 10 minutes or until thick and creamy. Add vanilla. Beat to combine.
-
3Meanwhile, sift flours together 3 times into a bowl. Sift flour mixture over egg mixture. Fold gently to combine. Divide mixture evenly among holes of prepared pans (about 3 level teaspoons per hole).
-
4Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cakes are just firm to touch. Stand in trays for 1 minute. Carefully lift cakes out of holes (see note) and transfer to a baking paperlined wire rack to cool completely.
-
5Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place coconut in a bowl. One at a time, dip cakes into jelly, then toss in coconut to coat all over. Place on prepared tray. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
-
6Meanwhile, make Chocolate filling: Place chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 minute or until smooth and combined. Set aside for 30 minutes or until thickened.
-
7Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat cream until firm peaks form.
-
8Place cakes on a flat surface, flat-side up. Divide chocolate filling evenly among 1/2 of the cakes. Divide whipped cream evenly among remaining cakes. Sandwich cakes together, pressing gently to secure. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until required.
