Four steps to the finished rainbow

 

Make the dough for the cake

In the beginning, you open 6 eggs with 200 g of sugar until the volume has at least doubled. Then stir in 150 ml of milk, 150 ml of water, 300 ml of oil, and then 450 g of flour and a pack of baking powder. It is important to stir the dough thoroughly to form no flour nests.

 

Now separate the dough into 6 portions and color it with the different food colors.

 

You bake each dough individually in a baking pan for 15 minutes at about 160 degrees. Of course, you can also make your cake heart-shaped, etc. if you have the right baking pan.

 

2. Stir the delicious cream together

For the cream, add 2 cups of cream and add a cup of cream cheese, some sugar, and cocoa powder.

 

3. Build upwards

Now you put the lowest dough base on the cake plate, brush it with the cream, and stack alternately bottom and cream on top of each other.

 

To refine the taste, you can also brush the bases with orange juice or jam. I put the cake together in colors like a rainbow, of course, you can try many more color combinations.

 

4. Work on the optics

Finally, brush the rainbow cake completely with the cream until a uniform surface is created, and decorate it with colorful sugar sprinkles.

 

Tastes delicious and looks good. Enjoy your meal!

 

Shopping tip

 

Pay attention to good quality in the food colors so that the rainbow shines properly. Liquid food colors are best. Artificial additives in food are actually not that good, but in this case, there is no natural alternative. All the more reason to use the other ingredients for very good or even organic quality.
