A jamlet. What is that? Well, quite honestly, I’m not really sure. However, I am using it to describe the little jam-filled cakes you see here. It’s as cute as something called a jamlet should be.
You see, I like to come up with new uses for the specialty pans I own. Basically, these pans need to earn their keep in my kitchen.
For this recipe, I used my mini doughnut pans, which I would normally use to make mini doughnuts. What I did, was overfill the doughnut pan with batter. Normally, when you make doughnuts, you only fill the pan halfway. With these, I filled the pan with batter 3/4 of the way full. The tops rise high, covering the ring holes and make these little cakes you can fill with just about anything. The possibilities are really endless!
While you can use any jam you chose, I used Republic of Jam’s Raspberry Anise. Basically, their jam is the best out there and I use it in everything. I used a ziplock bag to pipe the jam in the little cake hole…yes, I know, the cuteness is killing you!
Anyway, perfect for a tea party, a finger food party or any celebration. They will disappear before your eyes, especially once you mention Nutella.

These were way too easy to eat. I’m afraid they didn’t last long.
