Ingredients

Making a small rainbow cake is surprisingly easy, even though the end result looks amazing! You will need a few basic ingredients to make your rainbow cake:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 stick (½ cup) butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup buttermilk
Food coloring (any color you like)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Greasing and lining the pan will help make sure your cake comes out easily when it’s done baking.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the mixture is light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Then add the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among 6 small bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is reached. Pour each bowl of batter into the prepared cake pan, layering the different colors on top of each other.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
