(adapted from Conversations with a Cupcake)
2 boxes of white cake mix
6 eggs
1 c. water
2/3 c. oil
gel food coloring in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple
white chocolate frosting (recipe follows)
Mix the cakes mixes with the eggs, water, and oil and blend well. Pour about 1 c. of batter into 6 small bowls. Add a little gel food coloring to each bowl to create your rainbow-colored batter.
Grease and flour seven 8 or 9 inch round cake pans. (I used three 8″ pans and baked in two shifts.) Using a spatula, spoon and spread each color of batter into its own cake pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven, for 15-18 minutes, or until tops spring back when touched lightly. Allow to cool completely. Frost with White Chocolate Frosting.
Recipe: White Chocolate Frosting
1 c. butter, softened
1 bag white chocolate chips
3 lbs. powdered sugar
1/2 – 1 c. milk
In a large bowl, microwave white chocolate chips until melted, in 30 second intervals. Immediately beat in butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and some milk and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add more milk, if needed to achieve desired consistency. Makes enough frosting to ice between each layer of cake and around the outside of the cake. (I actually had frosting leftover. This makes a lot!)
I think that is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI had the idea "rainbow cake" pop into my head and immediately googled it to see what others had done. This recipe was the most promising recipe I found. I've been saving it for an awesome occasion.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome occasion? Like "we just moved into a new house and need an excuse to not unpack"?
