Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  4. Divide the batter evenly into 6 bowls. Add a different food coloring to each bowl and mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon a small amount of each colored batter into the prepared cake pans, creating rainbow layers. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together slightly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, finishing with a layer of frosting on top.
  9. Decorate the cake with rainbow sprinkles.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  11. Enjoy your delicious Rainbow Cake!
