I was reading two or three recipes at a time and I thought of combining the idea of a jello cake and a lemon cake together. The occasion was a farewell of one of our family members from Purdue committee. The members of our community seemed to love the cake and for me the compliment of the day was my cake was sitting next to a store bought cake and people couldn't distinguish from taste which one is home baked and which one is not. I couldn't be happier. This looks amazing when put together but the recipe is amazingly simple! I would say, it you love baking, it's a must try!
Lemon Supreme-Raspberry Jello cake!
Ingredients-
1. 2 cups all purpose flour
2. 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
3. 1/2 tea spoon salt
4. 1/2 table spoon lemon zest
5. 1/4 pound unsalted butter
6. 1 1/2 cup sugar
7. 3 eggs, beaten
8. 1 tea spoon vanilla
9. 1 cup whole milk
10. 1 package whipped cream- thawed
11. 1 package raspberry jello
12. 1 package frozen raspberries
Process-
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, salt and give it a good stir with electric mixer.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, sugar, butter, lemon zest,vanilla essence and beat it for 30 seconds in a low speed. Now pour the dry mix (previous point) and mix it for 2 minutes at a medium speed. Pour the batter in a cake pan (I used circular) and bake it for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
4. Now mix the gelatin in 2 cups warm water and 2 cups cold water. Put the frozen raspberries into it and stir well. Refrigerate it for 2-3 hours.
5. Now slice the cake in half. Spread the whipped cream and close the cake lid.
6.Now spread the whipped cream over the cake with a spatula. Keep it for setting approximately for half an hour.
7. Now warm the gelatin pan by putting it over warm water or use a knife to sharpen the edges. Now place it upside down over the cake. Let is freeze for an hour or two. Serve cold.
