To start preparing this delicious dessert, we need to ensure that we have all the necessary ingredients on hand. You will need flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, vanilla essence, and a little milk to prepare a fluffy and aromatic base. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, such as flour and baking powder, to ensure they are well combined. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a fluffy and light-colored mixture, then add the melted butter and vanilla essence. Carefully combine the two mixtures, gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Then, gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously to obtain a smooth batter.
Once you have a homogeneous mixture, pour the batter into the greased and lined baking tray, ensuring an even distribution. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the tray inside, allowing the base to bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check if it is done by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the base is perfectly baked. Once the base has cooled, remove it from the tray and clean the tray, preparing it for the next step.
Divide the base into two equal parts using a sharp knife. Place each half in separate round trays. It is time to add the canned fruits on the surface of each base, ensuring they are evenly distributed to create a harmonious taste. From the remaining juice in the can, prepare a delicious syrup by mixing the juice with two tablespoons of sugar and rum essence, then carefully pour it over the fruits, being careful not to soak the base too much.
In a separate pot, bring the pineapple juice to a boil along with the puddings and gelatin. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, then let it cool slightly. Once it is warm, pour it evenly over the prepared base, making sure to cover the fruits well. Place the trays in the refrigerator for a few hours, allowing the gelatin to set completely. Finally, decorate the dessert with whipped cream or fresh fruits, as preferred, for an attractive appearance and a touch of freshness. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, being both tasty and visually appealing!
