Rainbow like Cake

My little one's fascination for the rainbow led to this beautiful and delicious cake displaying lustrous, rainbow-like colours. Super moist, sweet as much as we like it to be. 

 

The buttercream icing coat makes it hide its true colors and it comes as a pleasant surprise for the dear ones until the cake is cut. It was an amazing idea planned by him to surprise his dear Daddy and it worked wonderfully as planned.

 

Now it’s your turn to play hide and seek with your loved ones.

Ingredients

 

For the cake

3 cups All-Purpose flour

1½ cup salted butter

2 ½ cup raw sugar 

½ + 1/4th tsp baking powder

1/4th tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup milk

5 Eggs

Pinch of salt

 

For Buttercream Icing

100 gms salted butter

200 gm Icing sugar

½ tsp vanilla essence

 

Procedure

 

Mix Butter along with powdered sugar until smooth.

Add eggs to the mixture.

Sieve all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda into the mix gradually until all well combined.

Add vanilla extract and 1 cup of milk

Grease 2 same round baking dishes with butter, flour, and parchment paper.

Divide the batter into the desired number of colours you are going to use for the cake. In our case, we have used 5 colours. 

Add gel colouring to each bowl and mix it well.

Pour one coloured batter into a baking tray making a tin layer. Tap the baking dish on the kitchen platform to remove any air bubbles before baking.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10-15min. 

Repeat the same with all the coloured batter.

Once all are done one by one, let them cool completely.

 

In a bowl combine 100 gm butter with 200 gms of icing sugar, ½ tsp vanilla essence. Combine until smooth.

 

Spread the icing between each layer of cake top it with the next layer of cake. Cover the whole cake with the icing as a crumb coat and let it set in the fridge for 15-20 min.

Now spread the cake with one final layer of icing and decorate with rainbow sprinkles.

Surprize will be to see the beautiful colours once the cake is cut.

 

Tips and Notes

 

Kindly watch-out for the baking capacity or oven heat of your oven and adjust the baking time accordingly

 

You could use all 7 rainbow colours but we used just 5. The cake will be even thinner if the batter is divided into 7 parts.
