CAKE RECIPE

Rainbow Layer Cake

I was inspired to create a fun, rainbow layer cake decorated with vibrant colors to celebrate!

A couple drops of gel food coloring gets mixed in and each color is baked separately in a round cake pan.

INGREDIENTS

– cake flour – baking powder – baking soda – kosher salt – unsalted butter – sugar – egg whites – sour cream – whole milk – vanilla extract – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gel food coloring

STEP 1

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

STEP 2

Beat the butter with an electric mixture on high. Gradually add in sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 mins.

STEP 3

Add the egg whites and beat until well blended, about 2 mins, then add in the sour cream and beat until combined.

STEP 4

Add in one third of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add one half of the milk, mix until combined.

STEP 5

Divide the batter evenly into six bowls. Add about 3-4 drops of the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gel food coloring into each bowl.

STEP 6

Pour one color batter into each of the prepared pans and bake for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

STEP 7

Cool cake in pans for a couple minutes, then remove from pan, peel off the parchment rounds and finish cooling on a wire rack.
