Multi Flavoured Rainbow Cake

Allow the cake layers to cool completely.

Multi flavoured rainbow cake.

It s simple tender delicious and pairs up with pretty much any frosting flavor under the sun. It s kind of a cross between a white cake and a hummingbird cake in flavor. Repeat with blue green yellow orange and red cake layers. I rrrrreally like it with cream cheese frosting though.

Then i added the eggs and self raising flour and split the mixture between three bowls. Grease and flour 2 9 inch round pans. Spread light coat of frosting on top and side of cake to seal in crumbs then frost with remaining frosting. Trim rounded tops off cakes to level if needed.

Allow the cake to cool for up to 2 hours. Spread with frosting to within 1 4 inch of edge. Cake mix as directed on package. Pour half into separate bowl.

So i doubled this recipe and filled my cake pans a little fuller and had enough left to make 12 regular sized cupcakes. Cover bottoms with parchment. Reline and grease the pans and bake the final three layers. Step by step i own three 8 cake tins so i did three layers of the cake at a time i started by creaming the butter and sugar together with the lemon zest.

Bake cake for 25 to 30 minutes until layers are fragrant and spring back when touched. It took a small box of each flavor of gelatin in the double recipe so no measuring needed. Prepare cake batter from 1 pkg. On serving plate place purple cake layer.

You just need to set aside some time to bake three sets of sponges then decorate your showstopper and i ve made sure there s plenty of icing so no danger of running short before the end. A rainbow cake has long been one of my favourites for a special occasion it looks so impressive yet it s a relatively simple process. Carefully remove the aluminum wrapped cardboard from the cake pan and flip the cake out onto a cake stand. Of course if vanilla is your thing then you can easily make this cake a vanilla rainbow cake too.

I wanted my layers to be full size 9 inch layer cakes and not thin. It s one of my go to cake flavors whenever i m making something for a crowd.
