Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Trifle Dessert
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake mix following the package instructions, dividing the batter into bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl, then pour into greased cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk in a mixing bowl until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a large glass bowl, layer the cubed cake, chilled pudding, and whipped topping. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a topping layer.
