Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the cake mix. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix with the required ingredients as mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water. Mix until just combined.
  2. Divide the prepared cake batter evenly into four separate bowls. Add pink, yellow, green, and blue food coloring to each bowl, mixing thoroughly until each portion is vibrantly tinted.
  3. Grease your baking pans and pour each colored batter into separate pans. Spread the batter evenly and place them in the preheated oven. Bake according to the package instructions, typically around 25-30 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mixes and cold milk for about two minutes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Gather your trifle dish and start layering your Easter Trifle Dessert. Begin with a layer of pastel cake cubes, followed by a generous layer of pudding, and then a layer of whipped topping.
  6. Sprinkle the top of your trifle with mini chocolate eggs and pastel sprinkles, adding a festive flair. Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least one hour.
