Cake Broken Glass - option one with sponge cake

Ingredients for homemade sponge cake:

vanilla powder - a pack;
high quality flour - 220 grams;
granulated sugar - 240 grams;
fresh chicken eggs - 6 pieces.

Filling ingredients:

jelly of different colors (you can buy store-bought) - 3 pieces (a glass of each color);
large tangerines - 2 pieces;
ripe kiwi - 3 pieces.

Base ingredients:

fat sour cream from 25% - 965 grams;
gelatin granules - 2 packs;
granulated sugar - 1.5 cups.

Biscuit making process:

First, prepare a fluffy sponge cake for the “Broken Glass” cake, according to the presented recipe with photos step by step at home. To do this, take a cup into which six chicken eggs are broken, this product is beaten until a fairly stable foam is obtained.

Granulated sugar is gradually added to this mass, and then the products are beaten again. The result should be a stable and glossy mass.

Now add a packet of vanilla powder to this bowl and add flour in portions. Mix the dough from bottom to top, this makes it possible to get the most fluffy cake. If the housewife is not confident in her ability to prepare biscuit dough, then additional baking powder is added to the mixture.

You can use any shape for baking, but a round one is best. It is greased with butter, and then the dough is poured into it. Baking is carried out at a temperature of at least 180 degrees, the baking process can last thirty minutes or more.

Once the cake is ready, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to allow the cake to cool.

Preparing jelly:

If you use ready-made jelly, then simply take it out of the jars and cut it into cubes. When, for a cake called Broken Glass, according to the recipe presented with photos step by step with sponge cake and fruit, jelly needs to be prepared, it is worth doing this in advance. To do this, the powdered jelly is poured with the required amount of water and then put in the refrigerator.

When the jelly is ready, cut it into cubes and transfer it to a bowl. Place the plate in the cold to prevent the jelly from melting.

Preparing the filling:

Now we begin preparing the filling; this is not difficult to do, since the main product here is fatty sour cream. First of all, soak the gelatin in the granules and leave it for the time required according to the instructions so that the product has time to swell. As soon as this happens, you can move the cup to a water bath and wait until the gelatin dissolves.

The sour cream is transferred to a large cup, granulated sugar is immediately added to it and the mass is whipped until fluffy and thick. The easiest way to do this is with a mixer; if you don’t have one at home, you’ll have to use a regular whisk.

Gelatin is poured into the resulting thick mass, after which the cream is thoroughly mixed until smooth. The cream is left aside for now, and in the meantime they prepare the fruit. To do this, peel the kiwi, and do the same with tangerines. Kiwis are cut into circles, and tangerines are peeled from seeds and membranes, and then cut into pieces.

We assemble the dessert:

You can take a silicone mold, where the cake was previously baked, and crumble half the biscuit into pieces. The pieces are distributed along the bottom of the mold as evenly as possible to form a base. One third of the batter is poured onto the surface of the sponge pieces and then the cut jelly cubes are placed on it. Top everything with another layer of sour cream.

Now you can put the fruit in the Broken Glass cake, according to the proposed recipe with photos step by step with a sponge cake. To do this, the pieces are placed on the surface of sour cream, and the whole thing is covered with sliced sponge cake. The top is again poured with the remaining cream and everything is carefully leveled with a spoon. The surface of the dessert should be as smooth as possible. Such a dessert in the form is sent to the refrigerator for five hours, during which time the cake will receive the necessary shape, and the sponge cake and fruit will set well in the soufflé. The dessert must be served on a large platter, topped with pieces of any fruit.

Date balls

Both dates and walnuts contain a lot of iron. These balls should be stored in the refrigerator. Finely chop 1 cup dates and 1/2 cup walnuts. Add 4 tbsp. spoons of lemon juice and 4 tbsp. spoons of oatmeal or coconut flakes. Mix and make balls (children love to do this). You can roll the balls in coconut flakes. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.

Cake “Broken Glass” - option two with sour cream and strawberries

Components:

strawberry jelly - 1 sachet;
cookies or biscuit - 145 grams;
fresh large strawberries - 235 grams;
fat sour cream at least 25% - 1.2 liters;
gelatin granules - 1 pack;
granulated sugar - 1 cup;
vanilla powder - 1 pack;
candied fruits - 115 grams.

Preparation:

Preparing the Broken Glass cake, according to the recipe presented with photos step by step with cookies or sponge cake, begins with preparing the berries. The strawberries are washed in water, and then they are allowed to dry and the tails are removed. Now the berries are cut into pieces and placed in a deep container. The berries are left aside, and at this time strawberry jelly is prepared, with which the strawberries are poured. The prepared container is placed in the refrigerator for several hours so that the jelly mass hardens.
Now gelatin is taken in granules, soaked in water for a while, and then diluted in a water bath until completely dissolved. As soon as the jelly with strawberry pieces hardens well in the refrigerator, you can begin preparing the cream. To do this, mix sour cream with granulated sugar, then add vanillin and beat for another ten seconds. Now the mixer is turned to the highest speed, and gelatin diluted in water is gradually introduced into the mass.
The finished jelly is removed from the refrigerator and then cut into small pieces. Now these pieces are placed on the bottom of the prepared form; it is best to cover the container with cling film. Candied fruits are laid on top of the jelly pieces, and the resulting layer is filled with half of the sour cream. Now the cookies or biscuit are broken into pieces, and then they are laid out on a layer of sour cream. You can make a sponge cake as a base, in this case on a Broken Glass jelly cake, according to the recipe with the photo, there is no need to pour two layers of cream, one is enough.
The last step will be freezing the finished dessert. The form is placed in the refrigerator for three hours. During this time, the gelatin will have time to set the cream, and the delicacy will hold its given shape well. If the container is not covered with cling film, then simply immerse the pan in hot water for a few seconds, and then turn the cake over onto a large plate.

Recipe with jelly

Preparing the dessert begins with the formation of beautiful, even pieces of jelly.

Pour the contents of one pack into a small container and fill with hot water. Use less water than indicated in the recipe on the back. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved. Pour into a flat mold so that at the end of hardening you get beautiful and even cubes. Repeat the same steps with the remaining jelly bags.
When all the colors are poured into the molds and cooled, place them in the refrigerator to allow the jelly to set.
While the jelly hardens, prepare the gelatin. Dilute it in a metal bowl with the amount of water indicated on the package. Leave it until it swells completely.
Transfer the sour cream into a container convenient for whipping, add sugar and vanillin. Beat for several minutes, gradually increasing the speed until the mixture thickens thoroughly.
Remove the jelly molds and cut into even pieces. Transfer to a container for future dessert and stir so that the colors alternate beautifully.
Place the prepared gelatin in a water bath and, after complete melting, add to the sour cream. Mix everything thoroughly and fill the mold with jelly.
Stir the resulting mixture so that each piece of jelly is completely covered with the sour cream mixture. And place in the refrigerator until completely cool.

The cake can be made in any form, this will not affect its beautiful appearance and, accordingly, taste. You can also add fresh fruits, nuts, cookies and even candy to the jelly cubes. The taste of this cake reminds us of childhood, as our mothers and grandmothers prepared it very often.

Cake “Broken Glass” - option three with cherries

Ingredients:

frozen or fresh cherries - 265 grams;
cherry jelly - 1 package;
purchased sponge cake - 210 grams;
gelatin granules - 1 pack;
Ganache cream - 325 grams;
canned peaches - 230 grams;
granulated sugar 310 grams;
Baileys liqueur - 95 ml;
fat sour cream - 1500 ml.

Preparation:

This version of making the Broken Glass cake, according to the recipe presented with a step-by-step photo with a sponge cake, is similar to the recipe from Emma’s grandmother, but here in addition they use Ganache and liqueur. You should start by preparing a sponge cake, but if you have already bought it, then simply soak it in liqueur. Berries are placed on the surface of the finished cake, and then the biscuit base is rolled into a roll. The finished roll is cut into pieces and set aside.
Now take granulated sugar and place it in a bowl into which the rich sour cream has already been transferred. This mass is whipped until fluffy; it is easier to do this with a mixer. The mixer is switched to high speed, and then gelatin, diluted in advance, is added to the mass.
It is worth preparing cherry jelly, fill it with water and put it in the refrigerator; it is better to dilute the jelly in a container so that when cutting the cubes the cubes will be more even. All components of the dessert have already been prepared, so you can start preparing the cake.

To assemble the delicacy, you should take a large cake pan; a round cake with a hole in the middle will look beautiful. Now they begin to place the prepared pieces of biscuit in pieces into the recesses of the mold. Next, jelly cubes are placed between these pieces; canned peaches should also be placed there. You can chop the peaches a little so that they are not so large.
Now the mass is filled with sour cream, which was mixed with gelatin. The cake is placed in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. During this time, the dessert will set and can be transferred to a large dish. If no additional decoration will be used, then when arranging the food you should think about the design of the dessert in advance. In our case, we use ganache. This chocolate cream is simply poured onto the surface of the cake and the dessert is left in the refrigerator for another thirty minutes.
You can serve this dessert even on a hot summer day, as the delicacy is served cold. If desired, the cake is decorated with fruits or fresh berries. Instead of sponge cake, it is allowed to use cookies soaked in liqueur.
