RAINBOW CAKE
Not only is this rainbow cake beautiful and colorful, but it also tastes really delicious. Made from my famous white velvet cake recipe and easy buttercream, this rainbow cake makes the perfect special occasion cake! *note* if you adjust the cake pan size using the calculator, keep in mind that the pans should only be filled halfway (1" tall) so the layers are not too big. The calculator is formulated for 2" tall layers.

Steps:
- NOTE: It is SUPER IMPORTANT that all the room temperature ingredients listed above are room temperature and measured by weight so that the ingredients mix and incorporate correctly. Heat oven to 335º F/168º C
- Prepare six ( 8"x2") cake pans with cake goop and place a round piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan for easy removal of the cake
- Combine 8 oz of the buttermilk and the oil together and set aside.
- Combine the remaining buttermilk, egg whites, and vanilla together, whisk to break up the eggs and set aside.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix 10 seconds to combine.
- Add your softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low until mixture resembles coarse sand (about 30 seconds).
- Add in your milk/oil mixture and let mix until dry ingredients are moistened and then bump up to med (setting 4 on my KitchenAid) and let mix for 2 full minutes to develop the cake's structure. If you don't let your cake mix on this step your cake could collapse.
- Scrape your bowl and then reduce speed to low. Add in your egg white/milk mixture in three batches, letting the batter mix for 15 seconds between additions. Scrape down the sides again to make sure everything has incorporated.
- Divide your batter into 6 bowls. Weigh 15 ounces of batter for each bowl.
- Color each bowl with your Electric food colors. 1/2 tsp for pink for the pink layer, 1/4 tsp yellow plus 1/4 tsp orange for orange layer, 1/2 tsp yellow for yellow layer, 1/4 tsp yellow plus 1/2 tsp green for green layer, 1/2 tsp blue for blue layer, 1/4 tsp pink and 1/2 tsp purple for the purple layer.
- Bake your layers for 20-24 minutes or until the edges JUST start pulling away from the cake pan. Do not under-bake or the middle of the cake will collapse.
- IMMEDIATELY TAP PAN FIRMLY on countertop once to release the steam from the cake. This stops the cake from shrinking.
- Let cakes cool for 10 minutes inside the pan before flipping them out. The cake will shrink a bit and that is normal. Freeze your cake layers 30-60 minutes before trimming your cakes. Frost and fill with buttercream frosting.
- After your buttercream is smooth, place the cake back into the fridge for 15 minutes before you apply your drip.
- Wait for your drip to set before painting with gold paint. Finish the cake with buttercream rosettes and more sprinkles.

- Bake each cake in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Stir together confectioners' sugar and mascarpone cheese in a separate bowl, then fold gently into the whipped cream until smooth.
- Spread frosting on each layer of cooled cake, placing one on top of the other. Cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

- Using food colors, tint batter in 1 bowl blue, 1 bowl red, 1 bowl green, 1 bowl yellow, 1 bowl orange (using red and yellow) and 1 bowl purple (using blue and red).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of six 8-inch round cake pans; dust with flour and tap out excess.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla seeds, until combined.
- Transfer the creamed mixture to a very large mixing bowl, then alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk with a spatula, adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2, starting and ending with the flour, just until smooth. Divide the batter equally among 6 mixing bowls. Using gel food colors, tint each bowl with one of the colors of the rainbow. Pour each color into its own prepared cake pan.
- Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes to the rack to cool completely.
- Level the tops of any cake layers that have domed by slicing the domes off with a serrated knife. Put some buttercream into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Put the bottom cake layer onto a cake plate. Pipe around the edge of the cake layer to create a frosting "dam." Fill the center with a thin layer of jam (about 1/2 cup). Top with another cake layer and repeat until you have stacked and filled all the layers. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream and decorate as desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, vanilla seeds and salt. Beat on low speed for a while. When the sugar is incorporated, turn the speed up and beat until the buttercream is fluffy and smooth. If it's too wet, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too stiff, add a bit more butter. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice to make sure everything is combined.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip cold buttercream before using.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip all the sponge ingredients, apart from the food colouring, into a mixing bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth.
- Working quickly, weigh the mixture into another bowl to work out the total weight, then weigh exactly half the mixture back into the mixing bowl. Pick two of your colours and stir a little into each mix. Keep going until you are happy with the colour - the colour of the batter now will be very similar to the finished cake, so be brave! Scrape the different batters into the tins, trying to spread and smooth as much as possible - but try not to waste a drop of the batter - a rubber spatula will help you. Bake on the same oven shelf for 15-20 mins until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean. Don't worry if that sponges are thin, there are many layers.
- Gently turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. Wash the tins and bowls thoroughly, and start again from step 1 - this time using another two colours. Unless you're making the optional pink layer, repeat one more time to get 6 sponges, all of different colours. Leave them all to cool.
- To make the icing, very briefly beat the vanilla and soft cheese or mascarpone with an electric whisk until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar and gently fold in with a spatula. Be careful - the more you work it, the runnier it will get, increasing the chance of splitting.
- Smear a little icing on your cake stand or plate - just a splodge to stick the first sponge. Start with the red, then spread with some icing right to the very edge. Repeat, sandwiching on top the orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple sponges. Spread the remaining icing thickly all over the sides and top of the cake.

10 EPIC RAINBOW CAKES - BRITISH GIRL BAKES
From britishgirlbakes.com
- Rainbow Stencil Cake. I’ll start with this dramatic black cake with a rainbow stencil design and it has a rainbow on the inside as well! To assemble the cake I’m dividing 4 cake layers in half to make 8 layers, which will make space for 7 layers of filling – one for each colour of the rainbow!
- Rainbow Number Cake. If you hate smoothing frosting, this rainbow number cake is for you! Start by making rainbow coloured meringues, and I cover the recipe and all of the steps for this in my full tutorial on how to make this Rainbow Number Cake from start to finish.
- Rainbow Sprinkled Frosting Cake with Rainbow Sprinkled Oreos. This is a really fun way to incorporate sprinkles into your cake! Set aside a little bit of frosting for touchups and piping swirls later and then pour a generous amount of sprinkles into the rest of your frosting.
- Rainbow Cake Layers. This is another cake with rainbow layers on the inside, this time with rainbow coloured sprinkles baked into the cake layers. Tiny non-pareil sprinkles work really well for this because they dissolve as they bake, leaving their colour in speckles throughout the cake without adding any texture to the cake.
- One Bag Piped Rainbow Cake. Now for a very very easy technique! Tint small bowls of buttercream with gel colours and the beauty of this technique is that you only need ONE piping bag!
- Rainbow Russian Tips Tray Bake Cake. This stunning rainbow flower cake is a tray bake cake, which is the quickest kind cake to make and decorate! Pour your cake batter or brownie batter or cookie dough into a casserole dish or a baking tray and bake it and then decorate it within that dish or tray, so you don’t have to level and divide and layer your cake, or cover it with smooth frosting.
- Icing Sheet Cake With Rainbow Piping. I’ve covered this cake with icing sheets and I have a detailed tutorial on that process in my Ultimate Guide To Icing Sheets On Cakes.
- Buttercream Rainbow Stars Cake. This cake uses my Buttercream Cut-Out Technique for the rainbow star design. Before frosting your cake, pipe or spread small strips of rainbow coloured buttercream onto a piece of parchment paper placed on a cutting board.
- Piped Rainbow Heart Cake. The combination of colours and texture on this cake are eye-catching and good news: it’s much easier to decorate than it looks!
- Vertical rainbow stripes. This last one is a technique I’m really excited about: vertical stripes! Tape a piece of acetate onto a cutting board and cover it with buttercream.
