Hey y’all, today I’m sharing a recipe for a colorful and fun Regenbogenkuchen, or Rainbow Cake, that is sure to impress your friends and family. This cake is not only a feast for the eyes but also for the taste buds. Let’s get started!

Regenbogenkuchen

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
• Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease three 8-inch cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
7. Divide the batter evenly between six bowls.
8. Add food coloring to each bowl (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) until desired colors are achieved. Mix well.
9. Pour each color of batter into a prepared cake pan. Tap each pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
11. Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Prepare:

1. Place the purple cake layer on a cake stand or plate.
2. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the cake layer. Repeat with the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red layers.
3. Finish by spreading a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake. This is called a crumb coat, and it will create a smooth base for the final layer of frosting.
4. Refrigerate the cake for 20-30 minutes to set the crumb coat.
5. Add a final layer of frosting, being sure to cover the entire cake, including the sides.
6. Decorate as desired. Slice and serve!
