RAINBOW CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of six 8-inch round cake pans; dust with flour and tap out excess.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla seeds, until combined.
• Transfer the creamed mixture to a very large mixing bowl, then alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk with a spatula, adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2, starting and ending with the flour, just until smooth. Divide the batter equally among 6 mixing bowls. Using gel food colors, tint each bowl with one of the colors of the rainbow. Pour each color into its own prepared cake pan.
• Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes to the rack to cool completely.
• Level the tops of any cake layers that have domed by slicing the domes off with a serrated knife. Put some buttercream into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Put the bottom cake layer onto a cake plate. Pipe around the edge of the cake layer to create a frosting "dam." Fill the center with a thin layer of jam (about 1/2 cup). Top with another cake layer and repeat until you have stacked and filled all the layers. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream and decorate as desired.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, vanilla seeds and salt. Beat on low speed for a while. When the sugar is incorporated, turn the speed up and beat until the buttercream is fluffy and smooth. If it's too wet, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too stiff, add a bit more butter. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice to make sure everything is combined.
• Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip cold buttercream before using.

RAINBOW JELL-O POKE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the vanilla cake according to the package's instructions, then let it cool for at least 20 minutes before poking the top of the entire cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
• Pour the cherry Jell-O mix into one bowl, and the blue raspberry Jell-O mix into another bowl. Add a cup of boiling water to each bowl and whisk until the Jell-O powder has dissolved. Stir a cup of cold water into each bowl.
• Immediately pour both flavors of Jell-O onto the cake, filling alternate holes and areas of the cake to create a spotted or tie-dye effect. Refrigerate for two hours.
• Top the cake with a layer of whipped topping and cover with sprinkles.

RAINBOW POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Place cake layers, top side up, in two 9" round cake pans.
• Pierce cake with skewers at 1/2" intervals.
• Stir 1/2 cup of the boiling water into each flavor gelatin in separate bowls, stir for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved.
• Start pouring each different color gelatin into the various holes in both cake layers. Only pour one color into each hole. Keep pouring until all holes are filled with color. Refrigerate 3 hours.
• Dip 1 cake pan in warm water 10 seconds; unmold onto serving plate.
• Spread with about 1 cup of the whipped topping.
• Unmold second cake layer; place on first cake layer.
• Frost with remaining whipped topping.
• Refrigerate until whipped topping is firm.
• Place egg white in a medium mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer to form soft peaks.
• Add icing sugar and lemon juice and stir with a spatula to combine.
• You want your mixture to be a thick but still running paste, if it is too thin it will run right off the cake and if it is too thick it won't mix and drip down the sides.
• Split mixture into 5 bowls and add color to each bowl (orange, red, purple, blue and green).
• Carefully drizzle small amounts of each color over the top of the cake. Start from the center and work your way out, this makes it easier to gauge when there is enough icing for it to just start over-flowing around the edge of the cake.
• Chill cake until ready to serve.

RAINBOW COOKIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch square (2 1/4-inch-deep) cake pan with cooking spray. Prepare 1 cake mix as directed, beating in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Tint pink with gel food coloring. Transfer to the pan; bake about 35 minutes. Let cool.
• Repeat to make a yellow and a green cake. (Bake both cakes at the same time if you have 2 pans.)
• Trim the tops of each cake with a long serrated knife to make level.
• Put the pink cake, trimmed-side up, on an inverted baking sheet. Spread with 1/2 cup jam.
• Top with the yellow cake, trimmed-side up; spread with the remaining 1/2 cup jam, then top with the green cake, trimmed-side down. Freeze the stack 1 hour.
• Microwave the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
• Using an offset spatula, spread the chocolate mixture in a thick layer on top of the cake.
• Use the tines of a fork to create wavy lines in the chocolate. Return to the freezer until the chocolate is set but not hard, about 15 minutes.
• Trim all four sides of the cake with a long serrated knife. Transfer to a platter.

RAINBOW PETAL CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour batter into pans.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• In large bowl, beat shortening and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light yellow. On low speed, gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat in vanilla. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until frosting is smooth. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
• Place 3 cups frosting in separate bowl; stir in pink food color. Divide remaining frosting (about 1 cup for each color) among 5 bowls; tint with remaining food colors. Trim rounded tops off cakes to level, if needed. On serving plate, place 1 cake layer. Spread with pink frosting to within 1/4 inch of edge. Repeat with remaining cake layers. Spread thin layer of frosting on top and side of cake to seal in crumbs.
• Spoon 1 color frosting into decorating bag fitted with #12 tip. Pipe row of straight dots on cake from top to bottom. Gently spread each dot with offset pastry knife, cleaning knife after each time. Repeat with remaining colors of frosting. Create another row of dots where frosting ends and spread each dot with knife. Repeat until whole cake is finished. When scallops end, add final row of dots to "seal" the seam. Pipe top of cake with one dot at a time; spread and then pipe again, creating a concentric circle.
