Rainbow Cake

Hey guys!

Am back! Today's recipe will be about : A rainbow cake! I made this for my mom's birthday as a surprise, and I hope she likes it! The party's on Sunday, so I made it today (Friday). 

Ingredients:

2 boxes WHITE  cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Supermoist)
6 different colours of food colouring (I used blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, orange and red.)
450g cream cheese
Half-a-stick unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups of icing/confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

1. Take one box of your cake mix and prepare it according to the instructions given on the box. Separate it equally into 3 bowls i.e. there should be 3 bowls with equal amounts of cake mix. 

2. Put purple food colour into one bowl and mix it, and do the same for the colours pink and green.

3. Bake the cakes 1/3 of the given time i.e. if your cake mix mentions 30 minutes, bake it for only 10 minutes.

4. Repeat these steps for the other cake mix and create colours yellow, orange and red.

5. Take your butter at room temperature and put it in a large bowl. Take your cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar into the butter and beat together with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. You may wish to put a different colour into your icing to make it colourful (I used the blue.)

6. Once all the cakes are cool, stack them up using the cream cheese frosting WITHOUT LEVELING IT or else you will not have any cake left because the cakes are really thin. 

7. Freeze it until you want to use it.

8. TA-DA! Your fab cake is ready!

(Make it the at least 2 days in advance.)

Here is the picture:
I know it is kinda shaky, but yea, this was how the final piece looked like.


Hope you guys try it!
