Ingredients
2
boxes white cake mix
prepared according to box directions
Red and pink gel food coloring
8
ounces
cream cheese
softened
14
ounces
sweetened condensed milk
8
ounce
tub Cool Whip
Valentine sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Prepare the cake mixes according to the box directions.
Split the batter equally into four bowls.
Add red gel food coloring to one bowl, creating a rich red color. The amount of food coloring used will vary depending on the brand.
Add a small amount of pink gel food coloring to one bowl, creating a light pink color.
Add pink food coloring and a small amount of red to a third bowl, creating a medium pink color.
Finally, add pink and red to the last bowl, creating a dark pink color.
Note: You can always add more, but you can't take coloring out.
Transfer each bowl of batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan or 8x8-inch square cake pan.
Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool.
Once cakes are cooled, crumble each cake, setting aside 2 tablespoons of each color for topping.
In a medium bowl, mix whipped cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and Cool Whip until well combined.
To assemble trifle, alternate each color of cake with a layer of cream.
To finish, sprinkle remaining cake crumbs and Valentine sprinkles on top.
Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
I recommend letting the trifle chill in the fridge for about two hours before you serve it.
You can mix things up by using chocolate, red velvet or confetti cake mix.
You can add in strawberries, raspberries, brownie pieces or candy pieces into your trifle.
