• To make the sauce, combine the jelly, mustard, and vinegar; whisk until smooth and chill until needed (this can be made 1 day in advance).

STRAWBERRY COCONUT JELLY CAKE

Steps:

• 1. PLEASE NOTE: My brother Curtis told me that the reason Rex Jelly was so popular when we were growing up, was because it was the cheapest you could buy at the time, and with a household of 13, I do understand why mama use it as a frosting to frost many of her cakes. We were well below the poverty level, & it was an inexpensive way to have an economical dessert. It really TASTED GREAT TO US, WE LOVED IT. If YOU ARE NOT USING the White Lily All purpose flour, please omit the additional 6 tablespoons of flour.
• 2. Because I created this frosting before leaving for the 650 mile trip in ARKANSAS, & wanted to make sure I had enough frosting. I made more than I anticipated I would need, so you may want to cut back on the quantity that you use. I did have some left over after frosting the 3 layer 9X9 size SQUARE CAKES.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. I used 3 pans like this, but you may use round or even a Bundt pan but the baking time will be about 1 1/2 hours for the bundt pan @ 325 Degrees F., and 38-42 minutes for the 9 inch square pans, do check after about 32 minutes.
• 4. Cream Butter and sour cream with sugar in a mixing bowl until light and creamy about 12 to 15 minutes, or until no sugar grains remain in mixture.
• 5. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each has been added. Measure out flour and gradually add to creamed mixture beating well after each addition.
• 6. Add Almond Extract & vanilla Bean paste or extract and beat till blended. Prepare baking pans by spraying with Bakers Joy, or greasing with butter and dusting with lightly with flour.
• 7. Pour batter evenly into all 3 pans. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 32 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• 8. Let sit in pan till sides of cake pulls away from sides of pan about 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Frost as desired. I LOVE USING BAKERS JOY WHEN I AM BAKING CAKES.
• 9. To make the strawberry Jelly frosting add all of the jellies to a large bowl, then add the gelatin, powdered sugar, & lemon juice, then whisk or beat with a mixer on low speed till blended. Frost each layer separately then top with shredded coconut, before adding the next layer. Coat sides also if desired, and add shredded coconut. Garnish with fresh strawberries and candies if desired. NOTE: You can also add STRAWBERRY JAM between each cake layers if desired, instead of the jelly and just use the jelly for the top and sides. Refrigerate leftover for a later use if desired.
• 10. Frost one layer of cake at a time, before adding the next layer, then top each layer with the sweetened shredded coconut, on sides and liberally on top. Garnish with fruit and candy as desired.

RASPBERRY COCONUT JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 1/2" by 15 1/2" jelly roll pan with baking parchment and lightly coat with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Into a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together three times.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the sugar together until thick, pale yellow and when drizzled, will hold a ribbon shape for 2 seconds on the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
• Fold in the flour mixture.
• In another clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinches of salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy. With the mixer still running, sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until the egg whites hold very soft peaks (the consistency of shaving cream).
• In thirds, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes, until barely golden. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
• Make the vanilla cream filling: With an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable shortening and butter until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At a drizzle, gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minute more.
• Run the tip of a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the sides. Dust the surface with confectioners' sugar. Flip the cake onto a dry work surface. With a spatula, spread a 1/8" thick layer of vanilla cream over the cake. Mix the preserves and water until smooth, then carefully spread 1/3 of it in a very thin layer over the vanilla cream. Roll up tightly. Spread the rest of the preserves around the outside of the roll. Sprinkle the coconut on a cookie sheet. Roll the cake through the coconut to coat completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, then trim the ends even.

Line the cake pan with plastic wrap (1 sheet across 1 way and another sheet across the other way, works well), leaving enough overhang so you can pick the jelly up from the pan. Give the coconut mixture a final whisk and pour it into the lined pan. Allow to cool slightly before putting it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
