This showstopper no-bake Jell-O cake is as delicious to eat as it is pretty to look at. Cubes of Jell-O are suspended in a creamy vanilla-flavored gelatin, and then set in a jello mold to create a stained glass effect.

STAINED-GLASS CAKE (FRUITCAKE)



Stained-Glass Cake (Fruitcake) image

From the traditional to the (comparatively) new-fangled. Stained glass or bishopcakes, very popular in the UK, are so called, one presumes, because they consist almost entirely of glace fruit and nuts, and the glace fruit has something of the translucency of a stained-glass church window.

STAINED GLASS CAKE

This beautiful fruit cake looks best cut into thin slices to show off the colours of the fruits and nuts. This is great to serve at Christmas time- or any time with coffee and port after dinner! An Australian cup is 250mls and a tablespoon contains 4 teaspoons. Thanks to the reviewer who pointed out my typo in the intro :-)

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

250 g dessert dates, stoned
125 g glace pineapple
125 g glace apricot
125 g glace cherries
125 g glace green cherries
125 g whole blanched almonds
250 g shelled brazil nuts
125 g prunes, stoned and halved
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons rum (40ml)
90 g butter
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Chop the pineapple and apricots into fairly large pieces, and leave the remaining fruit and nuts whole.
  • Mix all these fruits and nuts together, then reserve a half cup of them for the topping.
  • Beat the eggs until light and fluffy, then add the sugar, vanilla essence, rum and softened butter.
  • Continue beating until well blended.
  • Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt and add with the fruit and nuts, mix thoroughly.
  • Grease a 20cm ring tin and line the base.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into the tin, arrange the reserved fruit and nuts over the top, pressing down gently.
  • Bake in a slow oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until cake is firm to touch.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out.
  • Store in an airtight container wrapped in foil.
  • To serve, cut into very thin slices with a very sharp knife-the thin slices show off the beautiful colours of the fruits.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a sharp knife to cut the cake layers evenly. This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
  • Be patient when assembling the cake. It takes time to carefully place each piece of candy.
  • If you're using a fruit filling, make sure to drain it well before adding it to the cake. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
  • If you're making the cake ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Stained glass cake is a beautiful and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors and delicate flavors, it is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special cake to make, give stained glass cake a try.
