How to make Rainbow vanilla cake

• Step 1. Preheat the oven at gas 4/160C fan/ 180C and grease the six baking tins with butter.
• Step 2. In a bowl, sieve the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and salt. Keep this mixture aside.
• Step 3. Whisk the eggs with a beater. As soon as the consistency of the eggs become double, add milk and vanilla essence and whisk it again.
• Step 4. Then gradually add the mixture from the bowl and continue whisking. Whisk in one direction in order to avoid air bubbles.
• Step 5. Once the batter becomes smooth, divide it into six equal parts. Add the food color to each part and mix until the desired color is obtained.
• Step 6. Bake each tin for 12 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the tin to check whether the cake is baked thoroughly. Once the cakes are baked, allow them to cool on wire racks.
• Step 7. Whisk the cream cheese along with vanilla extract. When a smooth consistency is obtained, gradually add the icing sugar and using the cut-fold method, sift the icing sugar.
• Step 8. On a cake stand, smear a little icing in the middle and place the first layer of the cake. Now, spread a light coat of icing on the cake layer and place another layer of the cake. Repeat this for all the layers.
• Step 9. As you reach the last layer, spread the icing all over the cake. Finally, decorate the cake with rainbow sprinkles. Voila, your Rainbow Vanilla Cake is ready!
