Incredible Rainbow Cake Recipe 5 Layers References.

Here's a recipe for a 5-layer rainbow cake:

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line five 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter equally into six different bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl to make the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).
6. Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans, and smooth out the tops.
7. Bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely in their pans.
8. Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
9. Once the cakes are cooled, remove them from their pans and level the tops if needed.
10. Place one cake layer on a cake stand, and spread a thin layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting.
11. Decorate the cake as desired, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

 While one layer is cooling, prepare and put the next layer in the oven. After the cakes are fully cooled, mix 1 ½ batches of vanilla buttercream frosting and level each of the cakes.

Divide batter into five equal portions. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Put 125g butter, 225g flour, 150g caster sugar, 3 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, 1tsp vanilla extract in a large.
