Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box White Cake Mix (substitute with yellow cake mix for a different look)
- 1 package Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 3 large Egg Whites
- 1 cup Milk (any non-dairy milk can be used)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier version)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (melted butter can be used for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (can replace with almond extract for variety)
- 1 teaspoon Food Coloring (green and purple, skip for a classic look)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (whipping coconut cream is a dairy-free alternative)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Neufchâtel cheese can be used for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (regular sugar can be used but may affect texture)
- 15 cookies Oreos (can substitute with other sandwich cookies)
- Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, egg whites, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Add green food coloring to one bowl and purple to the other. Pour into prepared cake pans and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool, then cut into small cubes.
- Whip the heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mixture.
- Layer green cake cubes, crushed Oreos, cream filling, purple cake cubes, and more Oreos in jars.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Substituting with yellow cake mix gives a different visual effect.
- Greek yogurt can be a healthier substitute for sour cream.
- Melted butter will enhance flavor if used instead of vegetable oil.
- Using almond extract instead of vanilla can provide a unique flavor twist.
- These trifles can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
