Rainbow Cake








 

Here’s a super easy rainbow cake that is bright and fun for a rainbow themed party.

To make this rainbow cake you will need:

Serves: 8

Three quantities of the basic buttercream recipe
Three 20cm (7.87 inches) round cakes of your choice.
To make three of the sponge cakes make one and a half times this perfect sponge cake recipe.
1/2 cup of filling if desired (I used this lemon curd with the addition of 1 tablespoon of flour whisked into the lemon juice).  You do not have to use a filling you can just put buttercream between the layers.
Liquid food colour in blue, green, yellow and red.
Make your buttercream and then divide two thirds of the buttercream into 5 bowls and colour blue, green, yellow, red and orange (combine a tiny amount of red with yellow).
Place the buttercream into ziplock bags and pipe as shown in the video above

    I had only one cake mold so it took a while to bake the three cake bases.
    Besides that, it was quite an easy recipe.

    My son really enjoyed his birthday cake.

    It’s not perfect, but for a first try I am really proud of my work.

    Thank you Ann ❤️❤️❤️

  9. Hi Ann,
    I just wanted to send you a photo of my 16 year old son’s version of your Rainbow Cake. I was amazed by his effort and impressed at how delicious the cake tasted.
    You have added a whole new dimension to our lives!!!
    Kind regards

    • That is awesome, he has done such a good job of decorating, and baking by the sound of it too 😀

  10. Dear Ann, this cake is planned to be my son’s birthday cake. I will use this recipe, but I want make the sponge cake inside as a rainbow cake as well, with five layers of the colors of the frostings. My question, is this sponge recipe suitable for making 5 cake layers and bake them separately (I have a small oven), will the dough last until the last part baking? Thx, Katalin

  11. Just wondering if this could be made into a Chocolate Version?
