Trin for trin

1
Place each cooled cake layer into a separate 9-inch cake pan or a deep dish.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Using the same pans the cakes were baked in (after cleaning) works well as they are the perfect size.
2
Using a fork, poke holes across the entire surface of both cakes, about a half-inch apart and halfway through the cake's depth.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: More holes allow the gelatin to seep in more thoroughly, creating a more dramatic color effect.
3
In four separate small bowls, add one color of gelatin powder to each.
Ca. 1 min.
4
Divide the boiling water evenly among the four bowls and stir each until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: Make sure no granules are left, as they won't set properly.
5
Stir the corresponding portion of cold water into each bowl of dissolved gelatin.
Ca. 1 min.
6
Carefully spoon the different colored gelatin liquids over the tops of both poked cakes, creating random patches of color.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Try to distribute the colors somewhat evenly over the surface area of both cake layers.
7
Cover the pans with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the gelatin is firm to the touch.
Ca. 3 t.
8
Once set, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of one cake pan and place the layer on a serving platter.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: If the cake sticks, a brief dip of the pan's bottom in warm water can help release it.
9
Spread about one-third of the whipped topping over this bottom layer.
Ca. 1 min.
10
Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
Ca. 1 min.
11
Use the remaining whipped topping to frost the top and sides of the stacked cake.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: An offset spatula makes frosting the cake much easier.
12
Decorate with rainbow sprinkles, if using, before slicing and serving.
Ca. 1 min.
