3 Easy To Make Gelatin Dessert Cake Recipes

When it comes to making and baking homemade dessert cakes I like to use recipes that are easy to prepare, bake up quickly, and taste delicious. When you use gelatin in your cake batter recipes it adds a nice flavor and coloring to your dessert cakes. It will make a boxed mix taste like a homemade gourmet cake.

Each of these recipes starts with a boxed mix that you spruce up with a few additional ingredients. When the recipe calls for a box of gelatin it is for the standard (not family-sized) box. You can top these desserts with a glaze, frosting, or icing of your choice or see the recipe for suggestions.

Lemon-Lime Gelatin Cake

  • 1 box lemon-flavored cake mix
  • 1 box lemon gelatin mix
  • 1 box of lime gelatin mix
  • 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar

Add gelatin mix to the dry cake mix. Proceed to make the cake following directions on the package. Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan that has been greased and lightly floured. Bake according to box instructions. Mix lemon juice and confectioners sugar together. When it has finished baking, prick with a fork all over while it is still hot and pour lemon/sugar mixture evenly over the top. This will make a nice glaze when cooled. Store in an airtight container until serving time.

Simple Secrets For Cooking Fish

Many people are afraid to cook fish at home because they think it’s too fragile. Knowing a few simple facts can change this attitude forever and bring this lovely and nutritious dish into your home cuisine.

Buying the Fish at a Trustworthy Market

The people handling your food are as important as the food itself. Shopping in a market with a clean environment, a good reputation and employees that follow safe handling practices is crucial in securing good, safe food products to eat.

The Fish Should Look and Smell Fresh

Then use your senses to take a good look at the fish itself. It should look fresh and it should smell fresh. If it has a strong “fishy” smell, don’t buy it. That can be an indication of how long it has been out of the water and/or if it was stored at cold enough temperatures. If you are buying a whole fish, its eyes should be clear and not sunken in. The gills, the skin and the fins should all be moist and elastic. Pressing your finger on the skin of the fish should not leave a dent. It should be firm and nothing about the fish should look saggy or limp. The inside of the gills should be a reddish color and the fish should not be torn.

Buying the Fish as Close to The Time of Preparation as Possible

If you need to buy it the day before, it’s important to keep it as cold as possible. … Read More ...
