Multi Flavoured Rainbow Cake

Grease and flour 2 9 inch round pans.

Multi flavoured rainbow cake. Spread with frosting to within 1 4 inch of edge. Reline and grease the pans and bake the final three layers. Cover the cake with chocolate buttercream taking care to keep track of what layer is where. Pour half into separate bowl.

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

I rrrrreally like it with cream cheese frosting though. Allow the cake layers to cool completely. 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. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack.

It s one of my go to cake flavors whenever i m making something for a crowd. 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. Cover bottoms with parchment. Spread light coat of frosting on top and side of cake to seal in crumbs then frost with remaining frosting.

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. Allow the cake to cool for up to 2 hours. Trim rounded tops off cakes to level if needed. Of course if vanilla is your thing then you can easily make this cake a vanilla rainbow cake too.

One cake mix makes only 2 full sized layers. Cake mix as directed on package. Repeat with blue green yellow orange and red cake layers. It s kind of a cross between a white cake and a hummingbird cake in flavor.

Carefully remove the aluminum wrapped cardboard from the cake pan and flip the cake out onto a cake stand. So i doubled this recipe and filled my cake pans a little fuller and had enough left to make 12 regular sized cupcakes.
