[For Seniors] April Snack Activity: Ideas to Enjoy Spring with Homemade Sweets

Strawberry jelly cake

Strawberry jelly cake 🍓

The vivid red of strawberries really makes you feel that the weather is warming up and spring is on its way, doesn’t it? This cake makes the most of that bright red look, with a soft texture thanks to jelly.

Crumble cookies to make a base, then pour in a mixture of milk warmed with sugar and gelatin to form the foundation, and arrange strawberries on top.

After that, pour in clear jelly, chill, and let it set to finish.

You can fully enjoy the natural flavor of the strawberries, so it’s recommended to adjust the jelly’s flavor to complement them.
