Hello everyone, hope you have a joyful day so far! ๐Ÿค—

My little cousin is allergic to nuts and he loves cake and jelly as many kids do. Heโ€™s going to visit me soon for a swim so I figured to make a healthy purple sweet potato, coconut milk jelly cake for our treat this afternoon. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

The jelly cake has 2 layers:

1st. Base cake: I used rice flour, potato starch, and lightly mashed purple potatoes into little chunks. I steamed the cake mix in a bamboo steamer instead of baking.

2nd. Jelly: vegan agar combined with coconut milk, purple potatoes purรฉe, a bit of sugar cane and vanilla extract. Pour on top of the steamed cake and let it cool down.

Chill the jelly cake in the fridge for at least an hour, until itโ€™s ready to serve. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

That looks very interesting indeed. Such a shame that little kids have allergies but I bet he will enjoy your cake - such a thoughtful gesture ๐Ÿ™‚

Awe thatโ€™s very kind of you to say that Debs ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™

Yes he is severe peanut allergy and many other nuts which is so common in US. However Iโ€™m glad heโ€™s not allergic to animals because I donโ€™t know what to do when my house is full of pets ๐Ÿ˜. He has to wear a nuts allergy bracelet for caution. My aunt cooks but she is not really into baking so Iโ€™d love to make something for him to enjoy and bring home the rest of the jelly cake. He loved it. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

I am compassionate with people like you have to avoid certain food too, itโ€™s hard but we manage.๐Ÿ˜Š

Aww Bless him - it must be hard finding food thats nut free, I am sure he will love the cake because it looks lovely and so professional. Fuss and cuddles to all your adorable pets ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yes it is so hard on him but heโ€™s used to that and very aware of his food. Heโ€™s really cute, asking a million questions before eating anything ๐Ÿ˜.

These fur babies sure appreciate all fuss and cuddles from Debs! ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ
