A delightful mini jelly spongy cake to impress your child
This is a mini cake recipe that I called it “dinosaur eggs” to my son. It looks like an egg is hatching in the mud. 😅 This mini spongy cake is perfect to make for kid birthday party or simply to surprise your child! No butter or cow milk in this recipe.
There are 3 parts of ingredients in this recipe. The base of the cake is made by cocoa sponge cake, top with soft soy milk jelly then drizzle passion fruit syrup on top. I made this cake the day before and have it the next day so passion fruit syrup is well soaked through the cake.
To make the recipe, we have to start with making the dinosaur eggs which are the soy milk jelly. I made 6 half dino eggs using silicone round shape chocolate mold, about 3 cm diameter and 1.5 cm deep. This jelly need to refrigerate for about 2 hours for setting. While waiting for the jelly to set, I make the cake batter by mix in eggs and sugar then beat until light and fluffy then sift in flour and cocoa powder, and bake for 20 minutes. Lastly, just cook the passion fruit syrup and add water and agar agar powder to thicken it, you can skip this step by simply pour the syrup on the cake.
