Instructions
Creating a Jelly Cake is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined.
6. Flavor the Batter: Mix in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
7. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Jelly: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the jelly according to the package instructions. Let it cool to room temperature.
10. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of jelly on top, then carefully place the second cake layer on top of the jelly.
11. Top with Jelly: Pour the remaining jelly over the top layer of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
12. Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour to allow the jelly to set completely.
13. Garnish: If desired, add fresh fruits on top of the jelly for an extra touch of color and flavor.
