How to Make Rainbow Ribbon Mold

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your chosen pan (bundt pan, Jell-O mold, or 9x13 pan).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter into six equal portions. Stir in a different gel food coloring into each portion. Ensure the colors are vibrant!
  7. Spoon each colored batter into the prepared pan, alternating colors to create a ribbon effect. Gently swirl with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  8. Sprinkle generously with rainbow sprinkles.
  9. Bake for 190 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your pan and oven. Start checking at the 170 minute mark.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
