Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 2 hours (including cooling time)
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients
For the base:
- 1 and a half cups of sugar
- 1 and a half cups of water
- 1 cup of oil
- 1 packet of baking powder
- walnut (to taste)
- flour (as needed to achieve a batter similar to that for cake)
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 1 vanilla essence
For the pudding:
- 1 packet of strawberry pudding
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 400 ml of milk
For the jelly:
- 2 packets of red jelly
- 100 ml of water (for the second packet)
- Kiwi (for decoration)
Preparation
1. Preparing the base: In a large bowl, start by mixing water with sugar using a whisk or a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is crucial as dissolving the sugar will help achieve an even texture for the bases.
2. Adding the oil: Once the sugar is dissolved, add the oil. Mix well to integrate the ingredients.
3. Incorporating the dry ingredients: Gradually add flour, cocoa, and baking powder, stirring continuously. It is important to use a spatula or whisk to avoid lumps. Continue adding flour until you achieve a batter similar to that for cake. Add the vanilla essence for extra flavor.
4. Preparing the baking tray: Grease a baking tray (approx. 30x20 cm) with oil and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the tray and level it with a spatula.
5. Baking: Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top of the batter and place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes. Check if it is done using the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the base is perfectly baked. After baking, let it cool completely.
6. Preparing the pudding: In a saucepan, add the strawberry pudding, sugar, and milk. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to boil and thickens. Once ready, let the pudding cool slightly before using it.
7. Assembling the cake: Cut the base into two equal parts. Place the first layer on a platter and spread the strawberry pudding evenly over the surface. Then, place the second layer on top.
8. Preparing the jelly: Follow the instructions on the package to prepare the jelly. Mix one packet of jelly with water according to the instructions, but for the second packet, use only 100 ml of water to make the jelly denser. Pour the warm jelly over the cake.
9. Decorating with kiwi: Slice the kiwi thinly and arrange it nicely on the surface of the cake. This detail not only adds an attractive appearance but also a fresh and tangy taste.
10. Final cooling: Cover the cake and let it chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm up the jelly.
11. Serving: Cut the cake into squares and serve it cold, perhaps alongside a scoop of ice cream or a fruit tea for a perfect combination.
Useful tips
- You can replace the strawberry pudding with another favorite flavor, such as vanilla or chocolate, to vary the taste.
- If you want to add extra texture, you can sprinkle grated chocolate on top of the pudding before adding the second layer.
- Make sure the base is completely cooled before adding the pudding, otherwise it will melt.
