12 slices

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 pack Foster Clark’s vanilla cake mix
  • 275 ml water
  • 3 eggs
  • 80 ml oil

For the Jelly

  • 5 packs Foster Clark’s strawberry jelly (vegetarian)
  • 5 cups water
  • Mixed berries or fruits of choice

Instructions

  1. Mix all cake ingredients according to the instructions on the package.
  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes, then let the cake cool completely.
  3. Dissolve the jelly powder in hot water, stirring until completely melted.
  4. Allow it to cool down to room temperature before use.

To assemble

  1. Pour a layer of jelly into the mould, arrange fruits on top, and refrigerate until set.
  2. Once the first layer is firm, place the cake gently over the jelly, then pour the remaining jelly (at room temperature) around the cake until it reaches the edges.
  3. Cover the mould tightly with plastic wrap and place a weight on top to keep the cake in position. Refrigerate overnight until fully set.
  4. The next day, dip the mould sides briefly (about 10 seconds) in hot water, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Keep refrigerated until serving time.

Foster Clark’s Tip

You can replace the strawberry jelly with any of Foster Clark’s wide range of jelly flavours.
