Description
A delightful treat that combines tender cake with fruity jelly, bringing nostalgia and flavor together in a stunning presentation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1 cup fruit juice (raspberry or strawberry)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream softened butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually blend dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Dissolve gelatin in warm fruit juice according to package instructions. Let it sit until slightly thickened but not set.
- Poke holes in the cooled cake with a fork. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Add fresh fruit on top, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
Notes
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding gelatin to avoid melting. Keep the cake refrigerated to maintain its texture.
