Stacking gelatin in a cake is easy as long as each layer is allowed to set.
Whether you are looking for a pretty covered dish to take to a picnic or simply looking for a refreshing summer treat, a seven-layer cake made out of gelatin is as fun to look at as it is to eat. The key to creating a gelatin masterpiece is patience. Though the process is not difficult, it does take several hours to complete a cake as each cake layer must fully set before the next one is added.
Instructions
1. Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Dissolve one small package of gelatin in 3/4 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water.
3. Pour the warm gelatin into the 9-by-13-inch pan and place the pan in the refrigerator. Leave the gelatin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes as it must be completely set before adding the next layer.
4. Dissolve the next packet of gelatin in the small bowl, again dissolving it into 3/4 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water. Pour the dissolved gelatin into the 9-by-13-inch pan on top of the set layer and place the pan back in the refrigerator to set.
5. Repeat these steps until you have completed all seven layers of your gelatin cake.
6. Place a large serving dish upside down on top of the 9-by-13 pan and invert the pan to flip the cake onto the platter and show off your stripes. If you prefer, you can also simply serve the dessert out of the pan.
