Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour six 8-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
Color the Batter:
- Divide the batter evenly into six bowls. Use food coloring to dye each bowl a different color.
Bake Layers:
- Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool Layers:
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake:
- Once cooled, place the purple layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top, then add the blue layer, repeating the process until all layers are stacked.
Frost the Cake:
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with remaining buttercream frosting. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
Serve:
- Slice and enjoy the colorful layers of your vibrant rainbow cake!
