Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 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
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
In four separate small bowls, add one color of gelatin powder to each.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 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
Stir the corresponding portion of cold water into each bowl of dissolved gelatin.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 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
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
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
Spread about one-third of the whipped topping over this bottom layer.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 10
Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 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
Decorate with rainbow sprinkles, if using, before slicing and serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
