Notes
Tips
Warm the finished jelly slightly to make it easier to spread. This makes my fruity jelly cake more flavorful.
The cake also tastes very fine with strawberry powder. Try this variation as well.
Interesting to know
Unlike jam, jelly is made from fruit juice. Instead of currant powder, you can also take the juice of red currants and thicken it with agar agar.
