Ooo How do you make these?!

Rainbow cakes. Make you sponge up as normal then separate into however many colours you want. Add your food colouring and then put the different coloured mixture into your cases.

They are very easy, I made one for my daughters 3rd birthday. Like others have said you just portion out and add which ever colours you want to each portion they look great and kids love them

This is the recipe I used


Coloured cake

For each cake I used
6oz butter,
6oz, caster sugar,
6oz SR flour,
3 large eggs and
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon water.

Fling it all in the mixer and let it mix for 10 minutes until pale and fluffy. I then split it into 5 bowls, about 135g of mixture in each bowl and mixed in the colours.
You can either place all them all in one tin, to make a coloured cake or bake each colour in a separate tin and sandwich together using butter icing between each layer.

I cooked them in the oven at the same time, gas mark3/160C for 50 minutes.
