Christmas Jelly cake

Instructions:

Preparing the Fruit Jelly

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 1.5-liter bundt cake mold (8 by 8 or 9 by 9-inch size).
2. Dissolve one packet of strawberry jelly and one packet of lime jelly each in one cup of hot water separately. Pour the mixes into shallow dishes and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.

Making the Milk Mixture

3. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over a cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Meanwhile, ensure the sweetened condensed milk is well mixed.
4. Once the fruit jellies are set, pour the milk mixture over the jelly cubes in the greased bundt mold, allowing it to blend evenly. Lightly stir with a skewer or knife to remove air bubbles.

Assembling and Chilling the Jelly

5. Refrigerate the mold for at least two hours to allow the jelly to set completely, creating vibrant layers.

Unmolding and Serving
