Rainbow Cake

Author bakesalotlady

Ingredients

  • 500 g all purpose flour
  • 525 g softened unsalted butter
  • 500 g castor sugar
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp good quality vanilla extract
  • A good pinch of salt
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 90 ml milk
  • Good quality food colouring Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red
Grams – Cups

Instructions

  • Grease and line six 7-inch cake pans, make sure you have 6 medium bowls ready to go for dividing and mixing the batter. Preheat your oven to 170° C.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer sift all your dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt), gently mix to combine. Now add the butter in small chunks and mix on medium speed for around 45 seconds til the mixture resembles wet sand. You can either use a hand mixer or a standing mixer.
  • Crack your eggs in a different bowl, add the milk and vanilla. Whisk well till smooth.
  • Add half of the liquid to the flour and butter mixture. Start mixing on low and increase the speed to medium high – mix for 1 minute (Kindly time this as it is important to build the structure of the cake.) Now add the remaining liquid in two parts, mixing for 20 seconds each. Stop mixing as soon as the last 20 seconds are up or the cakes will end up tough/rubbery.
  • Now, if you have a weighing scale then measure the entire amount of batter in a large bowl and divide it by 6 and portion the batter evenly into the six bowls. If you do not have a scale, try and divide the batter between the bowls using an ice cream scoop or just eyeball it.
  • Add the individual colours to the bowls, I used Ameri-colour brand. And very gently mix the batter till the colour is incorporated, be very gentle.
  • Once all the colours are mixed, pour the batter into the prepared cake tins and bake them for 20-25 minutes, check after 20.
  • Let the cakes cool down completely before taking them out of the pan. Then level them using a sharp long knife, if the circumference of the cake is an odd burnt colour, just slightly brush that edge of the cake and the small burnt crumbs would fall down, do this very gently.
  • Once all your layers are prepped, you can fill and frost the cake with your favourite frosting. I used dark chocolate ganache.
  • The frosted cake is best consumed within two days, when refrigerated.

Easy & refreshing Berry Popsicles! Summer is here early it seems and these popsicles will cool you down. They are so delicious and addictive I recommend experimenting with whatever fresh fruits you can find!
SWIPE to see more of this EGGLESS Saffron, Pistachio and White Chocolate Cheesecake. I have made this beauty in collaboration with @matshiroflavours using their Saffron extract and as always I am so beyond happy with this range, it’s Ossoro Flavours’ premium range of pure extracts and I am gonna go get my hands on the entire range now. I highly recommend you check out their products. This cheesecake was a hit in our house and I am making this again for the weekend!❤️ The recipe is linked in my bio🤗
EGGLESS fried doughnuts with Pistachio Rose cream filling. These doughnuts are a treat for your tastebuds, the recipe is now live on the blog. Grab it from the link in my bio! Happy midweek my friends❤️
EGGLESS BROWNIE TART with a surprise Nutella layer. Incredibly fudgy, flaky topped brownie pairs so well with the buttery crust, add some Nutella to the equation and you have the best Valentine’s Dessert of life. Make this for yourself and eat it all, 10/10 would recommend. RECIPE LINKED IN BIO🥰
Strawberry season is fleeting and this cake is another favourite from the blog. The one on the website is a MANGO version but you just need to replace it with strawberries and it’s so good you will not want to share!😄 I ended up burning this one a little but hey, that’s life right? We mess up a little sometimes. However, I can assure you that we devoured every crumb of it🤤 What are your plans for the weekend? Are you baking something? This recipe is linked in my bio🤗
You guys really like it when I elaborate on the details of a recipe on my blog addressing everything from ingredients to the textures and temperatures which is why I have been working on a pound cake recipe that has legit the most even crumb and if I’m being honest, I think I have nailed it but the perfectionist inside me wants to check it just one more time before posting it on the blog.
