  • For the cake: Mix the flour with the salt and yeast, then add the milk and egg; work the mixture until combined, then add the sugar in two parts, mixing completely. Gradually add the butter and integrate until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Let it rest and ferment for an hour to double in size, then punch down the dough.
  • For the topping: Beat the shortening, then add the flour and powdered sugar until fully incorporated. Divide the dough into 3 parts and color one part with green dye, one part with red dye, and leave the other in its natural color; roll out each of the pastes and form discs.
  • Divide the shell dough into portions of 80 grams and shape into balls. Make a hole in the middle of each ball with your finger and pour in Smucker’s® strawberry jam, close the filled dough ball, and let it rest a little while you finish the rest.
  • Place the filled dough balls in a non-stick ring mold (or greased with a little shortening), spread a little vegetable shortening, and cover with the topping discs alternating the colors; press slightly with the palm of your hand and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Bake at 180 °C for approximately 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool in the mold.
  • Serve the ring with your favorite drink and more Smucker’s® strawberry jam.
