Multi Flavoured Rainbow Cake

Spread with frosting to within 1 4 inch of edge.

Multi flavoured rainbow cake.

It s kind of a cross between a white cake and a hummingbird cake in flavor. Reline and grease the pans and bake the final three layers. Of course if vanilla is your thing then you can easily make this cake a vanilla rainbow cake too. So i doubled this recipe and filled my cake pans a little fuller and had enough left to make 12 regular sized cupcakes.

Prepare cake batter from 1 pkg. One cake mix makes only 2 full sized layers. It s one of my go to cake flavors whenever i m making something for a crowd. It s simple tender delicious and pairs up with pretty much any frosting flavor under the sun.

Trim rounded tops off cakes to level if needed. Repeat with blue green yellow orange and red cake layers. Bake cake for 25 to 30 minutes until layers are fragrant and spring back when touched. Spread light coat of frosting on top and side of cake to seal in crumbs then frost with remaining frosting.

Allow the cake layers to cool completely. 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. I rrrrreally like it with cream cheese frosting though. 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.

Cake mix as directed on package. Carefully remove the aluminum wrapped cardboard from the cake pan and flip the cake out onto a cake stand. Allow the cake to cool for up to 2 hours. Cover bottoms with parchment.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack. It took a small box of each flavor of gelatin in the double recipe so no measuring needed. Cover the cake with chocolate buttercream taking care to keep track of what layer is where. On serving plate place purple cake layer.

Then i added the eggs and self raising flour and split the mixture between three bowls. Pour half into separate bowl.
