Rainbow Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Making this delicious and vibrant rainbow butter cake requires a few ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) vanilla extract
- 1½ cup (195g) cake flour
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) salt
- ½ cup (120ml) full-fat milk
- Food coloring of your choice
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C) and greasing an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan. Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper after greasing it.
In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter until fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and beat for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. With the mixer running on low, slowly add the dry ingredients and milk alternately in 3 batches.
Divide the batter evenly among 6 bowls. Add the food coloring of your choice to each bowl and mix until fully combined. Carefully spoon each color of the batter into the pan, alternating colors.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan.
