Rainbow Cake


This post dedicated to my friend Ching, as she was sharing with me about Cocos frosting, which combination of Lindt Cocos white chocolate with cream cheese. It’s very kind of her to send me the chocolate from overseas and thanks to her that my family have a chance to try and enjoy it :) It’s super fragrant and delicious.
I’ve been wanted to try on Rainbow cake, searching around for easy recipe. Thanks to Rieke for sharing this soft and delicious recipe. Actually, the original recipe is actually for 9 inch square tin, however, I modified the recipe to serve smaller cake (5.5 inch).

- Add the flour, milk powder and vanilla starting the mixer with low speed until incorporated, then increase to high speed … beat until batter thick or ribbon stage.
- Then add in butter and oil and mix well until batter is shiny.
- Divide into the batter by 6 and add in different colour separately, mix until well blended.

  3. Hi DG! I am admiring your lovely Rainbow Cake! I am very tempted to bake this cake but the thought of baking 6 layers separately makes me tired LOL!

    1. Thanks for Phong Hong for your encouragement word. I already scale down the recipe, bake into mini cakes, so I can bake more tins at one go. If you noticed from my third photo, I baked using cake ring and on aluminium foil, instead of baking tins. So save my washing time.

    1. Hi,
      Preheat oven means that you need to heat your oven at required degree before baking with minimal 10 mins before the baking start.

      Normally, I will heat the oven once I finished measuring my baking ingredients, just before the beating. Easy to remember that way :)

      Have fun with your new baking world :)
