This recipe drew its inspiration from a very popular cake made in one of our local Pennsylvania grovery stores. Gelatin gives this cake a tang and adds moisture - feel free to use a commercial, flavored vegan gel if you prefer - and a rich glaze adds a fine counterbalance of sweetness. Because it is so rich, this cake will serve many people.
