Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you this firecracker trifle layered cake recipe! Ideal for any party, these cake ideas are an easy-to-make dessert that appear as though you used hours to make it. Before beginning the layered look that truly makes this trifle recipe stand out, bake two different round layers of whichever cake flavor you like. This firecracker cake is dyed red with a bit of Red Hot-like spice. What makes these easy dessert recipes so incredibly simple is that instead of worrying about creating two perfect layers, you're going to cube the cake. Starting on the first layer, place the cubed cake against the sides, filling in toward the center as you go along. This way, there are no gaps as you add a frosting layer of this cake recipe. Pipe on an even layer of cream on top of the cubed cake pieces. Repeat placing the cubed cake on another layer, followed by the final layer of cream. For an even more beautiful touch, decorate the top with dollops of cream. Start at the outside of the cake once again, pulling toward the center of the cake slightly to create teardrop shapes. Sprinkle these pom poms with star sprinkles in red and blue to give this layered cake an even more explosive appearance. Not only will these easy dessert ideas taste delicious, but the appearance will be tempting eye candy until you cut the first piece! Your basic cake is kicked up a notch with a trifle recipe to rival the rest.
