So I'm wondering: is it possible to bake a cake in a springform pan and put a round, even layer of jelly on top in that same pan?
The sponge pretty obviously shrinks as it cools, is putting jelly on the still-hot sponge an option or will it just melt? Should the cake be set in the centre and just have jelly poured over so it goes over the sides too?
Alternatively, should the jelly layer be made separately and just put on top of the cake?
