Rainbow cake
Rainbow cake is a colorful and vibrant layered cake made by using different colored cake batters to create a rainbow effect. Each layer is typically a different color of the rainbow, creating a visually stunning and fun dessert. It's perfect for celebrations and parties!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- Gel food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into six bowls. Add a different color of gel food coloring to each bowl and mix until well combined.
- Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans, one color at a time, creating layers of the rainbow.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, assemble the layers with your favorite frosting between each layer. You can use white frosting or a rainbow-colored frosting for a fun effect.
- Decorate the top of the cake with additional frosting, sprinkles, or decorations as desired.
- Enjoy!
