It is the season of mangoes, and the weather is very sultry. Always wanted to eat some cold desserts, so today we have a refreshing and eye-catching mango roses jelly cake.
Cake Base
First, prepare a cake base. You can refer to our previous steamed sponge cake recipe, but this time I added a portion to 9-inch square mold and baked at 150°c for 60 minutes. After the cake is unmolded and cool down, use a 6-inch square movable mold to measure the area to be cut. The cake must be cut a little bit larger than the mold to fill the mold, and the jelly will not flow down to the bottom. Gently stuff the cut cake base into the bottom of the mold.
Mango Jelly Layer
You can choose the mango variety you like. After peeling, the most flesh part is preserved. Later, we will use it to make roses. Then cut the remaining part into the blender and add water to make a smoothie. Mango has a lot of fiber. It is recommended to filter to make it smoother.
First mix the sugar, Konnyaku jelly powder, and agar-agar powder in a dry pan to avoid lumps after adding water. Add water and stir evenly to ensure that there are no lumps before turning on the heat. Stir while boiling over medium heat. Turn off the heat after boiling, pour in the mango smoothie and mix well. Don’t be lazy by just boil the mango smoothie and Konnyaku jelly powder together. The color of the mango jelly cooked at a high temperature will become dull.
Prepare a strainer to filter the cooked mango jelly into the mold again. This is to filter out some bubbles and possibly some small clumps. After pouring, scoop out the small bubbles floating on the surface. Until you are satisfied, you can put it in a container or wrap it with clingfilm, and put it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until it solidifies.
You can freely design a few more layers of jelly with different colors. However, the layer of jelly on the top of the cake should be thicker so that the cake will not seep in and will taste soggy.
Mango Roses
After the mango jelly layer has solidified, you can start making mango roses. Cut the mango flesh we just reserved into slices about 3 mm thick. Start with smaller slices of mango, starting from the center, and then one by one around each other to form a flower. Finally, a small piece was rolled into a flower core and stuffed into the center gap, thus completing a mango rose.
Roses can be made directly on the cake, or the whole rose can be shoveled and put into the mold after it is made on the cutting board. See which one is more comfortable for you. This step is quite time-consuming and needs a lot of patience, but there is nothing difficult in the world for people who are interested!
Of course, you can also freely design the rose size and position you like or add other fruits you like. But the outside of the roses must be blocked. Otherwise, when you pour in the transparent jelly, it will slowly spread out. Then the handmade mango roses will out of shape.
Crystal Jelly Layer
Finally, frame up the mango roses that you have made hard. The method is the same as cooking mango jelly, except that the mango smoothie is omitted. After cooking, also prepare a strainer to filter out bubbles and lumps. This time, use a spoon to scoop slowly and try to pour gently and close to the rose to avoid creating more bubbles.
When finish pouring, deal with the bubbles floating on the surface which can be scooped up or sprayed with a fire gun to defoam. But be careful when using a fire gun as the surface will wrinkle if it burns too much. Leave it for about 5 to 10 minutes, there will be bubbles occasionally pop up, and then pick it up or poke it with a needle.
Wait for the jelly to cool down before putting it into the container. If you use cling film, let it cool, wrap it up after the jelly has solidified, and put it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Cake, jelly, and mango with three different tastes and textures are eaten together with a refreshing feeling. It’s feeling happiness to eat such a refreshing tea time dessert in the sultry weather! By the way, the pandan layer cake is also a refreshing dessert for summer time!
