How to Make Vibrant Rainbow Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among six bowls.
- Add gel food coloring to each bowl, one color per bowl. Use the following colors: Red, Orange (Neon), Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple (Neon). Mix until evenly colored.
- Pour each color of batter into a prepared cake pan, creating even layers. For a full rainbow, you'll likely use one pan per color. Use the other pan if more batter is needed per layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers with your favorite frosting, creating a beautiful rainbow effect.
