Step 1: The Cake Base
INGREDIENTS
2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Measure sifted flour, baking powder, and salt; sift together
three times.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add 1/2 cup
sugar gradually, and continue beating only until meringue will hold up in soft
peaks.
Cream butter. Add vanilla.
Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, and cream together until light and
fluffy. Add sifted ingredients alternately with milk a small amount at a time,
beating after each addition until smooth. Add meringue, and beat thoroughly into batter.
Spread batter into 3 prepared 8 inch
square or round pans Bake at 350 degrees
F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes.
Step 2: While cooling…
INGREDIENTS
1 small package each of Jell-o gelatin: lemon, lime, raspberry
Dissolve each one in ½ cup hot water
Then add ¾ cup cold water to each
DIRECTIONS:
Using a large tined fork, or substitute, poke holes into
cake..many holes. Pour one flavor Jell-o on one cake. You will have 3 DIFFERENT flavored
cakes. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Step 3: Cream Layers
INGREDIENTS
3 small boxes vanilla
instant pudding
1 small box of each Jell-o flavor: lemon, lime, raspberry
3 8oz cool whip
DIRECTIONS
For each flavor:
Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 C boiling water. Add 1/2 C
cold water and let set up for 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer, beat dry
pudding mix into the J-ello until well blended.
Refrigerate until set (about 15 minutes). Fold in 1 8 oz cool whip.
Step 4: Preparing cakes
Cut cakes in about 1 inch cubes
Step 5: Putting it all together
After you have combined the cool whip with Jell-o mixture
you are ready for layering. You can do
this any way you want, but the darker color in the middle works best.
Using the lemon cake, line the bottom of your trifle bowl or
what dish you are using. Top with lemon
mixture. Do the same for the raspberry layer. However, drizzle about 1/3 cup raspberry syrup over the
raspberry mixture. Finish with the lime
layer.
This should set in fridge overnight for best results. Store leftovers in fridge – if there are any!
OPTIONAL: top with additional cool whip and spring colored sprinkles
on top.
