Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    Place each cooled cake layer into a separate 9-inch cake pan or a deep dish.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Using the same pans the cakes were baked in (after cleaning) works well as they are the perfect size.

  2. 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.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: More holes allow the gelatin to seep in more thoroughly, creating a more dramatic color effect.

  3. 3

    In four separate small bowls, add one color of gelatin powder to each.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  4. 4

    Divide the boiling water evenly among the four bowls and stir each until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Make sure no granules are left, as they won't set properly.

  5. 5

    Stir the corresponding portion of cold water into each bowl of dissolved gelatin.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  6. 6

    Carefully spoon the different colored gelatin liquids over the tops of both poked cakes, creating random patches of color.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Try to distribute the colors somewhat evenly over the surface area of both cake layers.

  7. 7

    Cover the pans with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the gelatin is firm to the touch.

    Aproximativ 3 ore

  8. 8

    Once set, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of one cake pan and place the layer on a serving platter.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: If the cake sticks, a brief dip of the pan's bottom in warm water can help release it.

  9. 9

    Spread about one-third of the whipped topping over this bottom layer.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  10. 10

    Carefully place the second cake layer on top.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  11. 11

    Use the remaining whipped topping to frost the top and sides of the stacked cake.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: An offset spatula makes frosting the cake much easier.

  12. 12

    Decorate with rainbow sprinkles, if using, before slicing and serving.

    Aproximativ 1 min.
