Cake Preparation:

Here, we can make any cake we want, a sponge cake, a molly cake, but we suggest starting with a simple cake recipe because as the preparation is handled a lot during coloring, it's likely to see the sponge cake collapse, which would be a shame!

1) Mix in a bowl, 200 g of soft butter with 200 g of fine sugar to obtain a creamy butter. Incorporate 6 eggs, one at a time.

Add 450 g of sifted flour mixed with a packet of baking powder.

Finish with 25 cL of milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla powder.

2) Weigh the preparation and divide it into 6 equal parts to be placed in 6 different bowls.

3) Color each of these parts with the colors of the rainbow (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red) preferably with powder coloring.

4) Bake each batter in a mold of about 16 cm for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

5) After unmolding, let cool on a rack. Feel free to trim the baked cakes with a knife if they are a bit domed. They should be as smooth as possible for assembly.

Cream Preparation:

1) In a bowl, place 250 g of mascarpone and 500 g of liquid cream with 33% fat content.

2) Whip with an electric whisk to thicken the cream.

3) When it begins to thicken, gradually add 100 g of icing sugar. Then whip until a firm whipped cream is obtained.

Assembling the Rainbow Cake:
