Rainbow Cakes

I had a little bit of a baking session with my niece, and we made some rainbow cakes! This is really fun for both adults and kids to do, and super easy.

 

 

All you need to do is follow a basic cake recipe.

 

Here are the ingredients we used:

300g caster sugar

300g butter

5 eggs

300g self raising flour

Variety of food colouring

 

Beat the butter and sugar together until light in colour.

Add the eggs one at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a small amount of flour and this will fix the problem.

Sift the rest of the flour into the mixture and fold in to add air to the mixture.

 

Separate the mixture into the amount of bowls you have food colouring for.

Add a different colour to each bowl of mixture until you have a rainbow of different colours.

 

Layer the coloured mixture into cupcake cases to create pretty rainbow designs

 

 

Bake in a pre-heated 180 degrees oven for 10-15 minutes

 

Eat and enjoy!
