Time & Servings:
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour plus cooling time
Servings: 12
綾 Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
Food coloring red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple
For the Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk more if needed
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Grease and flour six 8-inch round cake pans or work in batches if you have fewer pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into six separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to make red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple batter. Mix until each is well combined and vibrant in color.
Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and enough milk to reach your desired frosting consistency.
To assemble the cake, place the purple layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Pro Tip: For a smooth and professional finish, use a crumb coat of frosting first. Apply a thin layer of frosting all over the cake to trap any crumbs, then refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before applying the final layer of frosting.
