How to make Retro Pine Lime Jelly Cake

Ingredients:

• 6 platinum strength gelatine leaves
• 85g packet pineapple-flavoured jelly crystals
• 1 1/2 cups (375ml) boiling water
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1kg vanilla coconut yoghurt

Directions:

First, soak 1 gelatine leaf in cold water for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve the jelly crystals in boiling water, then stir in the soaked gelatine leaf and lime juice until fully blended. Add 1 cup of yogurt to the mixture, combine well, and strain it into a loaf pan. Chill for about 3 hours until set.

For the next layer, soak the remaining gelatine leaves, then heat 1/2 cup of the yogurt until warm. Stir in the gelatine until fully dissolved and then incorporate the rest of the yogurt. Pour this mixture over the set jelly to create a layer that chills overnight. To serve, dip the loaf pan in hot water for about 30 seconds to ease the cake out, then flip onto a plate. Serve chilled, optionally with fresh fruit or lime syrup. For a delightful serving suggestion, think about pairing it with Dole Whip cupcakes—a match made in dessert heaven!
