Multi Flavoured Rainbow Cake

Spread with frosting to within 1 4 inch of edge.

Multi flavoured rainbow cake.

On serving plate place purple cake layer. So i doubled this recipe and filled my cake pans a little fuller and had enough left to make 12 regular sized cupcakes. 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. Repeat with blue green yellow orange and red cake layers.

It s simple tender delicious and pairs up with pretty much any frosting flavor under the sun. Cake mix as directed on package. Reline and grease the pans and bake the final three layers. I rrrrreally like it with cream cheese frosting though.

Carefully remove the aluminum wrapped cardboard from the cake pan and flip the cake out onto a cake stand. It took a small box of each flavor of gelatin in the double recipe so no measuring needed. Bake cake for 25 to 30 minutes until layers are fragrant and spring back when touched. Pour half into separate bowl.

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. It s kind of a cross between a white cake and a hummingbird cake in flavor. Prepare cake batter from 1 pkg. One cake mix makes only 2 full sized layers.

Cover the cake with chocolate buttercream taking care to keep track of what layer is where. Allow the cake layers to cool completely. Allow the cake to cool for up to 2 hours. Cover bottoms with parchment.

I wanted my layers to be full size 9 inch layer cakes and not thin. Spread light coat of frosting on top and side of cake to seal in crumbs then frost with remaining frosting. It s one of my go to cake flavors whenever i m making something for a crowd. Then i added the eggs and self raising flour and split the mixture between three bowls.

Of course if vanilla is your thing then you can easily make this cake a vanilla rainbow cake too. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack.
