Rainbow Citrus Tart Recipes

RAINBOW FRUIT TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust work surface and puff-pastry sheet with flour; roll out to slightly thinner than 1/4 inch. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, pressing and rolling sugar so as much sticks as possible. Trim pastry sheet to a 12-by-8 1/2-inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. With a paring knife, lightly score a border 1 inch from edges. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool. Gently press center to flatten.
• Meanwhile, place each color of fruit in its own bowl (or do in batches). Divide remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and lemon juice evenly among bowls and add a pinch of salt to each. Toss to combine. Whisk cream with confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Fill pastry with cream and top with fruit. To create rainbow effect, arrange fruit in vertical stripes, starting with red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Garnish with mint, if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours.

RAINBOW CITRUS CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until each egg is incorporated; stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Divide batter into 3 bowls.
• In the first bowl, stir in lemon zest and yellow food coloring; pour into prepared pan. In the second bowl, stir in orange zest and orange food coloring; pour into second prepared pan. In the last bowl, stir in the lime zest and green food coloring; pour into third prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake layer comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• Assemble the cake: stack the layers together with the Lemon Filling in between the layers. Frost sides and top with Orange Cream Frosting. Refrigerate until serving.
