Jellied Cake

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix (white or yellow, 18.25 oz.)
3 boxes of flavored gelatin dessert or jelly powder (3 oz. per box), any flavor
Whipped topping

Steps

  1. Bake the cake according to the directions on the cake-mix box in a rectangular baking pan.
  2. Let the cake cool off completely and remove the crust of the cake.
  3. Meanwhile, melt gelatin in three cups of boiling water. Stir until all the powder has dissolved. Add 1.5 cups of cold water. Set aside.
  4. When the cake is complete cool, put it in a rectangular container that can barely fit the cake without any space left around the four sides. Cut the cake into a smaller piece if necessary. Push the cake down to the bottom of the container.
  5. When the gelatin mixture has begun to thicken but not completely set yet, slowly pour half of the mixture onto the cake. Put the container lid on and put it into the refrigerator for half to one hour.
  6. Take the container out, remove the lid, and pour the rest of the gelatin mixture into the container slowly. Cover the container again and put it into the refrigerator until the gelatin is set.
  7. Just before serving the dessert, take the cake out and spread a thick layer of whipped topping on top.

I have designed the recipe to be mildly sweet for Chinese. Having this dessert is a good way of eating more pumpkins which are good for us.




簡易版椰汁南瓜西米露

材料:

小西米四至六安士(多少隨意)

A 料:
清水兩杯(16 安士)
白糖一杯 (8 安士)
南瓜一罐(15 安士)
椰奶一罐(14 安士)
南瓜批香料(pumpkin pie spice)二茶匙

做法:

  1. 用一隻大鍋把大量清水燒開(用大鍋和多水好使西米不容易粘在一起)。下西米,用木 匙把西米攪動,煮至西米透明。離火,格去水份,並在水龍頭下用冷水略為沖洗,此 謂「過冷河」。滴乾水份備用。
  2. 把 A 料中的水和南瓜放入一隻大鍋中,加南瓜批香料,拌勻。用中火煮至燒開,加 西米及椰奶,拌勻。最後加糖,煮至全部的糖溶解便成。

此食譜源自梁文韜先生在二零零六年十月二十七日的《飲食男女》雜誌中所發表的食 譜,由於在美國近感恩節時超市中有大量罐頭南瓜出售,故我把它變成「簡易版」。 對健康的朋友來說,我認為多放點椰奶和糖會好味一點。放點南瓜批香料可除去南 瓜天然的「腥」味。

此份量做出來的甜湯(糖水)比較稠,喜歡稀一點的朋友可多放點清水。
