Cardinal Jelly Cake (Gulaman Cake)

Cardinal Jelly Cake (Gulaman Cake)

A classic Filipino party dessert — colourful, wobbly, and absolutely refreshing!

🛒 Ingredients

Jelly Layers:

  • 1 pack Mr. Gulaman Yellow (unflavoured — cook in juice or add sugar to taste)
  • 1 pack Mr. Gulaman Buko Pandan (green, already flavoured)
  • 1 pack Mr. Gulaman Red (unflavoured — cook in juice or add sugar to taste)
  • Juice of your choice for the yellow and red layers (e.g. mango, strawberry)

White/Cream Layer (Almond Jelly):

  • 1 pack Galinco Gulaman Unflavored (clear)
  • 2 cans Gina Mango Nectar (240ml each)
  • 1 can condensed milk (~300ml)
  • A few drops McCormick Ube Flavor (optional, for a purple touch)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare each layer separately — dissolve each Mr. Gulaman pack in a separate pot with water or juice according to the packet instructions. Yellow and Red are unflavoured — cook in juice or add sugar to taste.

2. Set each layer separately — cool each layer in its own dish in the fridge until fully firm.

3. Cut into cubes — once all layers are set, cut them into equal cubes and mix together in a large dish or mould.

4. Make the white layer — dissolve Galinco Gulaman in hot water, add Gina Mango Nectar and condensed milk. Let it cool slightly (but not set). Add a few drops of McCormick Ube if desired.

5. Pour over the cubes — slowly pour the white mixture over the jelly cubes in the mould. The cubes will float and distribute beautifully.

6. Refrigerate — chill for at least 2–3 hours until fully set.

7. Serve — unmould onto a plate or serve directly from the dish. Enjoy! 🎉

💡 Tips

  • Gina Mango Nectar adds a natural fruity sweetness to the white layer!
  • Use a bundt mould for a more festive presentation.
  • Best served cold — perfect for parties and potlucks!
