Does anyone know the recipe of a type of layered mocha cake (sometimes seen in orange and strawberry flavor too) that is served in Chinese buffet and it has a gelatin skin like top layer. A friend of mine is requesting to make her such a cake and I am at a loss!
Boy, I've been to enough Chinese buffets to know exactly what you are asking about, but alass........don't know how to make it. The cake its self is a very tight, light, almost pound cake like consistency - As I remember, almost always white cake. I'm thinking my *original* WASC might be an exceptable sub if you sift all the dry ingredients. http://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/7445/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe
Are you needing the gelatin topping? I would try a 'jigglers' type recipe for that. Maybe let it start to gel before pouring over the cake.
Sorry I can't be of better help :(

Try searching for "gelee topped cakes"
It's basically a jelly topping. Here's a recipe for Mango gelee:
Mango Glaze
100g mango puree
3g gelatin powder
3 tbsp boiling water
Dissolve gelatine in hot water. Mix in mango puree. Allow to set just long enough that it can be spread on cake but it will not be absorbed into the cake.
