Ingredients
Cake mix
Whipped cream
Food colouring
White chocolate pudding
Method
- Whip up one white cake mix according to the package instructions, then divide the batter into 6 cups.
- Colour with rainbow colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
- You are going to make two cakes, so grease up two cake tins.
- Pour half of your red batter into the first one, reserving half for the second cake. Do not push it around, just let it move out naturally to the edges.
- Pour the orange right in the middle of the red (again, only half of your batter, save half for the second cake) and that’s going to push the red even closer to the edge.
- Keep going with the yellow, green, blue and purple, pout half of each into the very middle until you see a cake like below.
- You can wiggle the pan side to side very slightly to help the batter move out.
- Tap the pan on the table or counter lightly to remove bubbles.
- Repeat with your second cake.
- Bake the cakes according to the package instructions, cool and remove.
- Slice your cakes lengthwise as you would a loaf of bread.
- Place the best looking center pieces that are full rainbows on the edges of your serving bowl.
- Then you fill in the middle of the trifle with the pieces of cake that aren’t full rainbow slices.
- To make each layer, place the cake layers down, put a third of the white chocolate pudding on top, then a third of the whipped cream. Then start another cake layer and repeat two more times.
- Decorate with rainbow cake crumbs or sprinkles.
