Torta helada

Machine-translated from the Spanish article

The frozen cake (torta helada) is a dessert with no specific place of origin, although it is attributed to Peru, and it has been mentioned since the 1960s. In its traditional form, this cake consists of three layers: the top layer of strawberry gelatin, the middle layer of carlota (a preparation of strawberry gelatin whipped with milk), and the bottom layer of sponge cake. Other elements have since been added, such as preserves: the top layer has had pineapple slices added, the middle layer's strawberry gelatin is replaced with pineapple and diced peaches are added, and the sponge cake layer is soaked in syrup.
