Stained Glass Cake Recipe (Ideal for Summer!) 🎂🌞💖

So it was a week before hubby’s birthday and I was browsing through recipes and checking what would be an ideal cake suitable for this hot summer weather. I remember going through a recipe for a stained glass cake which looked really awesome and colorful! I did want the cake to be different and decided to go ahead with the recipe.

The cake was a bit tedious but well worth the effort, the cake was a hit with the birthday boy and family 🙂

So basically this is not an actual cake but more like a pudding cake, a combination of cheesecake and pudding, which makes it deal for this summer! and plus the jello glass effect makes it look awesome! 🙂

1 packet gelatin powder
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

First the Crust!

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

Pour and press the mixed crumbs onto a 9 inch bottom of a round cake pan
Bake until edges are golden brown (12 -15 mins)
Keep onto a cooling rack to cool

Second the Jello!

In 3 separate containers whisk each jello box with 1/2 cup boiling water
Refrigerate until set, for 4 hours
Once Jello is set, slice each jello into 1/2 inch cubes and keep chilled

For the cream filling!

Combine and whisk 1/4 cup pineapple juice and gelatin powder
Microwave the mixture for 40 seconds
Pour the microwaved mixture to the remaining pineapple juice
Using an electronic mixer, whip the heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Reduce speed to low and add in the pineapple juice mixture
To the cream mixture add the jello cubes and fold the mixture with a spatula

The final touch!
