BROKEN GLASS CAKE
The name does not accurately describe this dessert but since it has been a family favorite for so many years I am loathe to change it. This is a light, child-friendly dessert we instituted for the children at Christmas. It is especially well-received after a heavy meal. You will be asked for seconds!

Steps:
- Place lime, orange, and strawberry gelatin mixes into 3 separate 9x9-inch glass dishes.
- Pour 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin mix; stir the gelatin until dissolved.
- Pour 1 cup cold water into each flavor of gelatin, stir to combine, and refrigerate the 3 flavors of gelatin until set, at least 4 hours.
- Heat pineapple juice in a saucepan until hot but not simmering. Stir unflavored gelatin into pineapple juice until dissolved. Refrigerate pineapple juice mixture until cool and thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl. Set 1 cup of crumb mixture aside for garnish. Press remaining 2 cups crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch cake pan to make a crust.
- Pour cream into a large metal mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the cream is fluffy and forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Slowly beat sugar into whipped cream, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time; beat in vanilla extract.
- Cut the different flavors of gelatin into cubes. Use a thin spatula to lift the cubes away from the bottom of the dish and loosen them.
- Very gently fold the thickened pineapple juice and gelatin cubes into the whipped cream mixture until thoroughly combined. Spoon into the graham cracker crust.
- Sprinkle the cake with reserved graham cracker crumb mixture.
- Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours to overnight.

BROKEN WINDOW GLASS CAKE
This comes from the 100 Years of Jello cookbook. It's a beautifully classic recipe that's easy to create as long as you prepare in advance. It was originally called the Crown Jewel Dessert.

BROKEN GLASS CAKE (SALLYE)
This is in no way my personal recipe that I created. or an old family recipe handed down. There are over a hundred versions of this recipe on the internet, virtually all the same. This particular one is from Food.com and is the same one my sister uses when she makes this dessert (which isn't really a cake)

Tips:
- Choose the right pan: A 9x13 inch pan is the best size for this cake. If you use a smaller pan, the cake will be too thick and may not bake evenly. If you use a larger pan, the cake will be too thin and may not have enough structure.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cake: This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Broken glass cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover cake scraps. With its unique appearance and delicious flavor, broken glass cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
