Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Pour the Strawberry Gelatin (1 box) into a heat proof bowl and pour boiling Water (1 cup) over it. Stir it well until the powder dissolves. Then add the Ice (to taste) so that they melt in and cool everything down.

step 2

Give it a final stir, then pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish. Put it in the freezer to completely set for about an hour and a half. It should still be somewhat pliable but not really jiggly.

step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and spray 10 wells of a 12-well muffin tin liberally with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed).

step 4

Combine the Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp) and Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1) in a bowl and whip them together for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is really pale and airy. It should expand too. Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the Self-Rising Flour (3 Tbsp) just until it disappears.

step 5

Scoop a tablespoon of the dough into the wells of the tin. There will be enough for 10. Make sure they are even, then bake the cakes for 8-9 minutes.

step 10

Let the chocolate completely harden, then serve the cakes with a yummy hot beverage! Enjoy!
