Jelly cake

Cake “Grape”

Hooray! I moved to level 3! In honor of this action, I would like to treat you, dear cooks, to a cake. A lifesaver cake comes to the rescue when you are too lazy to bake, but a sweet dish is absolutely necessary. It is made quickly, does not require baking, but is eaten instantly, which is why everyone absolutely loves it - both children and adults, without exception. This is my first time displaying a cake, sorry if anything goes wrong.

Cake “Wrong Honey”

As in the cartoon “Winnie the Pooh”, the main character said: “Incorrect bees make incorrect honey.” So my “bees” and “honey” are made from apricots. I think that this cake will appeal not only to children, but also to adults. PS: in winter, you can take canned apricots or peaches.

Cake “Sandwich with caviar”

I suggest you decorate a light cottage cheese cake in an original way. A cake in the form of a sandwich with caviar looks great on a festive table, including New Year's. The total weight of the finished cake is 1.7 kg. It took about 4 hours to decorate the cake, but it's worth it! Feel free to try and you will succeed!

“Honey cake” made from loose dough in a slow cooker

This simple and playful cake is captivating because you don’t need to roll out the dough into shortcakes or bake in the oven. The composition is quite ordinary, and the taste is delicately creamy and fragrant, and if you decorate with seasonal berries, it also looks beautiful! Help yourself!

Curd jelly cake with fruits

I planned to amuse my son on his anniversary with a cake. It’s just that I’m not very good with baking) I looked through recipes for cakes with gelatin and took the plunge... Now this cake has already been tested))) Since the birthday was celebrated in several steps (with mom and dad, with friends, with relatives), this cake I’ve already cooked it three times and, judging by the reviews from tasters, I’ll continue to cook it. Naturally, I won’t surprise the most experienced chefs with this cake, but I hope the recipe will be needed by those who, like me, are good at baking.

Apple Symphony Cake

Delicate cake made from sponge cake, pudding cream, apple jelly layer and crispy coconut flakes.

Dance “Whisper of a Nun”

Plyatsok is a confectionery product popular in Western Ukraine and Poland, very similar to a cake, but usually baked in a rectangular shape. The serving of the dance in portions is very appropriate, and in this case the cut is amazing. It's catchy, colorful and intricate, thanks to the different layers, fillings and creams. Moreover, this is truly a celebratory bake. In Ukraine they bake dances for marriages, all of them different, with different entrails and creams. Thanks to its bright appearance and different taste, plyatsok has every right to occupy space on the New Year's table!

Cake “Ladybug”

Two types of cakes, custard with pudding and jelly - layered and different in taste, but so wonderfully combined! I think that both children and adults will like the cake!

Cake “Tenderness”

Delicate, airy, light cottage cheese cake with peaches. I cooked for my husband for Valentine's Day. He couldn't tear himself away! I ate three pieces right away. Try this curd happiness).

Jelly cake . Jelly cake

Usually a cake cannot be called a light dish. Yeast dough, rich cream, icing... But a cake with jelly is a completely different matter. Jelly cake is the least nutritious delicacy, which will be very useful even on a hot summer day. After all, jelly is perfectly refreshing!

The invention of gelatin belongs to the Yankee Peter Cooper. Over the 100 years of its existence, the delicacy has not lost its relevance at all. Housewives love jelly because it cooks quickly and is always a hit with both kids and adults.

You can make a jelly cake using this simple recipe. Pour gelatin with cool boiled water, leave to swell, then discard in a colander, mix with juice and sugar. Heat until dissolved, without letting it boil, cool.

Mix flour and sugar, add butter, baking powder, egg yolks and knead the dough. Roll out and place in a greased form. Bake in the oven until golden brown.

Cut the shortcakes into two “levels”, layer them with jam in the middle. The surface can also be lightly greased with jam, lay out berries, sliced fruits, pour a thin layer of jelly onto the cake, cool, add a little more, cool again, etc. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator. Serve when the jelly is one hundred percent set.

Not only jam, but also any cream, for example, sour cream, can serve as a layer for a cake with jelly. The edges of the cake can also be decorated in an original way - for example, with butter cream, coconut flakes or crumbs left over from baking the cakes.

To make a cake, it is best to take packages of multi-colored jelly - thanks to the rainbow, the dessert will look most beautiful and festive.

Cake with jelly: how to prepare a delicious treat at home (with photo)

The best dessert for any holiday is a cake with jelly and fruit. It's easy to prepare it yourself. This will not require much effort and time. In addition, this cake can be perfectly decorated with fresh or frozen fruit.

My mother decorates the cake with pieces of kiwi and orange, and I prefer raspberries and blackberries, but this is a choice and taste for everyone. And with all this, you will eat not only a piece of sweets, but also a portion of vitamins.

Kitchen appliances and utensils: 3 bowls (for jelly, gelatin and yogurt), glass, cling film.

Products you need

In order to prepare a regular jelly cake, you will need fresh or frozen fruits, cookies, gelatin, yogurt and dry jelly mass. From all this you can quickly and easily prepare a delicious cake that you will happily feed not only your family, but also your guests.

You need to purchase the following ingredients :

Sugar cookies	200 g
Jelly	3 packs
Yogurt	500 ml
Gelatin	1 sachet
Fruits	Optional

In order to decorate the cake I use jelly of various colors . It often tastes like strawberry, kiwi and lemon. This set will give the cake some brightness. I choose thick yogurt so that it looks like sour cream. This trick will help the cake harden faster and not fall apart.

You can buy blackberries and raspberries if you are not able to pick them yourself. But instead of these berries you can add bananas, kiwi, oranges, strawberries and so on. Choose the fruit that suits your taste buds more.

And I remember very well how my mother carried the jelly mass into the cellar to harden. At the same time, the setting time was even shorter than in modern refrigerators (I think the properties of gelatin were better then).

History of jelly

Until the beginning of the 19th century, no one could even think about recipes for jelly cake, because then jelly could only be made from certain fruits that contain pectin, but this whole mass froze very poorly and was more like jelly. Pectin is something like fruit gelatin (polysaccharides that are found in all higher plants and in some fruits: quince, peach, plum, apple).

But in 1845, a certain Peter Cooper managed to extract gelatin from meat waste without realizing how to use it. But half a hundred years later, pharmacist Waite added dyes and flavorings to gelatin. After this, there was a wave of advertising for the newest product, which sank into the soul of almost all housewives from all over the world. By the middle of the twentieth century, about 2.2 thousand recipes for making jelly were understood.

How to make a jelly cake at home

To make a jelly cake with cookies (without baking), you will need to spend a minimum of ingredients and effort. In fact, the layers of the cake will freeze one by one in the refrigerator all day long, but this has never caused me any huge headaches. One layer of jelly is poured for two or three minutes, and then after about 3 hours it hardens, and at this time you can go about your business.

So, we will divide the process of making a cake from cookies and jelly into stages. Each step will take you no more than 10-15 minutes.

1st step: pouring the first layer of jelly

First, choose a plate. It should fit 3 cups of jelly mass, fruit, 0.5 liters of yogurt and 200 grams of cookies.
After this, place cling film on the bottom of the plate, preferably in two layers. I do this all the time so that the cake does not stick to the bottom of the dish.
Next, dilute the contents of the bag with the dry jelly mass in a glass of water and mix well. Later, pour the resulting liquid into a plate with film.
This is how the first layer of our homemade jelly cake comes out. The bowl of liquid must be placed in the refrigerator until completely solidified. This may take about 3 hours. At this time, dilute 20 grams of gelatin with cool boiled water and leave to swell for 30 minutes. The purchased liquid will be useful for transforming yogurt into a jelly mass.

2nd step: pouring the second layer of jelly and adding fruit

After the first layer of jelly has hardened, start mixing the second bag of jelly. Pour the resulting mixture over the first layer and leave it to harden.
After about 3 hours you can add fruit. What specific fruits you take and how you decorate the cake with them depends only on your imagination.

In the summer, you can add the freshest cherries, plums, apples, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, apricots, etc. In winter, I like to decorate the cake with bananas and kiwi. My friend is a big fan of oranges; she beautifully decorates the cake with pieces of peaches and oranges. By the way, it turns out to be quite a tasty and unusual dessert.

Step 3: pouring the third layer of jelly

Now that your delicacy is decorated with fruit, you need to cover it with another layer of jelly syrup. Pour the 3rd layer and leave it to harden in the refrigerator. After 3 hours, all three layers will be one hundred percent frozen and separated. And in the middle of them the fruits will shine through beautifully.

4th step: pouring yogurt and adding cookies

Now you understand how to create a beautiful three-layer jelly for a cake. This is very easy to learn if you follow the instructions provided. Next you need to add another layer of yogurt to the cake.

Pour the yogurt into a plate and evenly add gelatin to it, while stirring the whole mass.
Stir everything well and pour the resulting liquid over the three-layer jelly.
Now the cake needs to be put in the refrigerator again. Because gelatin hardens faster than jelly from bags, yogurt will need 30-40 minutes to completely harden.
Once everything has set, start covering the entire area of the cake with cookies. And only after this can it be turned.
As a result, you get a wonderful and delicious dessert.

How to perfectly decorate and serve a jelly cake

To decorate the cake, you can thinly slice strawberries and kiwis and place them on the top layer of jelly. My mother loved to decorate a similar delicacy with several sprigs of mint or lemon balm and 2-3 slices of lemon.

And my friend often draws some inscriptions or figures on top of the cake. She does this with a culinary syringe filled with cream.

Cake making tips and tricks

I’ll say right away that dry jelly mass, which is diluted in water, does not harden well from time to time. This often depends on how much water you add per packet of contents. As a result, the cake may fall apart. That's why I always add a little gelatin to the jelly from the bag (approximately 5 g of gelatin per jelly bag). But we can deal with this problem in another way: dilute two bags of jelly with similar flavors into one and a half glasses of water, rather than one bag per glass of water.

Now you understand how to pour the cake so that the jelly does not disintegrate. But my mother once made jelly herself - from compote and edible gelatin. For such a cake you only need 1 liter of compote and 50 g of gelatin. And the product will be 100% natural.

Also, I would not recommend using yogurt with less than 15% fat content, otherwise it may not harden well. By the way, my friend uses sour cream instead of yogurt, and it turns out quite tasty.

If you are decorating a cake with oranges or grapefruits with skin, then first you need to scald them with water at 80ºC. This way the skin will lose its bitterness, and the fruit will release more pectin.
