Rainbow Bundt Cake Food

RAINBOW BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
• Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, vanilla, whole eggs and yolk in a second medium bowl until combined. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, pour in the sugar 1/4 cup at a time; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Turn the mixer off and scrape the sides of the bowl to insure the ingredients are incorporated. Turn the mixer to low, add the flour mixture 1/4 cup at a time and beat for about 30 seconds. Add the egg mixture gradually and beat until the batter is combined, about 3 minutes.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth over the top with a spatula. Put the pan in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack, 10 to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, open 6 small resealable plastic bags. To the first bag, add 3/4 cup of the coconut and 10 drops red food coloring. To the second bag, add 3/4 cup coconut, 5 drops red food coloring and 5 drops yellow food coloring to make orange. To the third bag, add 3/4 cup coconut and 10 drops yellow food coloring. To the fourth bag, add 1/4 cup coconut and 5 drops green food coloring. To the fifth bag, add 1/4 cup coconut and 5 drops blue food coloring. To the sixth bag, add 1/4 cup coconut, 3 drops red food coloring and 2 drops blue food coloring to make purple. Seal all the bags, pressing out as much air as possible. Press and shake the sealed bags until all the coconut is coated in food coloring. Add more food coloring if you desire a richer color. Empty the bags into stripes on a baking sheet. Let stand, uncovered, for 1 hour to dry out slightly. If not using the coconut immediately, store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Turn the cake over with the flat side facing up and trim it with a serrated knife to make level. Set the cake trimmed-side down on a work surface. Cut the cake in half from top to bottom so you have 2 semi-circles. Stand up the cake pieces like 2 arches and push them together back-to-back to make 1 arch. Trim as needed so they line up evenly and can stand on their own. Lay the cake pieces back down on their flat sides. Using a butter knife or offset spatula, cover the cake pieces with frosting on all sides except the bottoms.
• Press a stripe of purple coconut into the frosting on the inside curve of one of the cake semi-circles. Add a 1-inch stripe of blue coconut next to the purple stripe. Continue with the green, yellow and orange coconut, leaving an empty space on the outer edge of the semi-circle where the red coconut will go. Repeat with the other cake piece and colored coconut. Carefully stand up both cake pieces again. Spread the flat, cut side of one of the cake pieces with frosting and carefully push it together with the cut side of the second cake piece. Spread the remaining frosting over the seam where the pieces come together. Press a stripe of red coconut over the frosted seam, completing the rainbow. Using a metal spatula and your hands, carefully transfer the cake to a serving platter.
• Using scissors or kitchen shears, cut each marshmallow in half along the equator. Adhere the sticky cut sides to the platter and other marshmallows to build clouds on the sides of the cake.
• When ready to serve, separate the halves again and slice each half into wedges.

RAINBOW CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of six 8-inch round cake pans; dust with flour and tap out excess.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla seeds, until combined.
• Transfer the creamed mixture to a very large mixing bowl, then alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk with a spatula, adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2, starting and ending with the flour, just until smooth. Divide the batter equally among 6 mixing bowls. Using gel food colors, tint each bowl with one of the colors of the rainbow. Pour each color into its own prepared cake pan.
• Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes to the rack to cool completely.
• Level the tops of any cake layers that have domed by slicing the domes off with a serrated knife. Put some buttercream into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Put the bottom cake layer onto a cake plate. Pipe around the edge of the cake layer to create a frosting "dam." Fill the center with a thin layer of jam (about 1/2 cup). Top with another cake layer and repeat until you have stacked and filled all the layers. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream and decorate as desired.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, vanilla seeds and salt. Beat on low speed for a while. When the sugar is incorporated, turn the speed up and beat until the buttercream is fluffy and smooth. If it's too wet, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too stiff, add a bit more butter. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice to make sure everything is combined.
• Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip cold buttercream before using.

Remove an additional 2 tablespoons batter to a small bowl; reserve., Divide remaining batter into six separate bowls, tinting each with food coloring to make the following: 2 tablespoons purple batter, 1/4 cup blue batter, 1/3 cup green batter, 1/2 cup yellow batter, 2/3 cup orange batter, and the remaining batter red., Fill six small food-safe plastic bags with a different color batter. Cut a small hole in a corner of the red batter bag; pipe a wide ring onto white batter to within 1/2 in. of pan edges. Pipe a ring of orange in the middle of the red ring, leaving some red visible on each side. Repeat by piping remaining colors in the middle of the previous layer, in rainbow color order. (Each ring will be narrower than the previous layer.) Fill a bag with reserved white batter; pipe over purple ring only. , Bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

RAINBOW LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip all the sponge ingredients, apart from the food colouring, into a mixing bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth.
• Working quickly, weigh the mixture into another bowl to work out the total weight, then weigh exactly half the mixture back into the mixing bowl. Pick two of your colours and stir a little into each mix. Keep going until you are happy with the colour - the colour of the batter now will be very similar to the finished cake, so be brave! Scrape the different batters into the tins, trying to spread and smooth as much as possible - but try not to waste a drop of the batter - a rubber spatula will help you. Bake on the same oven shelf for 15-20 mins until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean. Don't worry if that sponges are thin, there are many layers.
• Gently turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. Wash the tins and bowls thoroughly, and start again from step 1 - this time using another two colours. Unless you're making the optional pink layer, repeat one more time to get 6 sponges, all of different colours. Leave them all to cool.
• To make the icing, very briefly beat the vanilla and soft cheese or mascarpone with an electric whisk until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar and gently fold in with a spatula. Be careful - the more you work it, the runnier it will get, increasing the chance of splitting.
• Smear a little icing on your cake stand or plate - just a splodge to stick the first sponge. Start with the red, then spread with some icing right to the very edge. Repeat, sandwiching on top the orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple sponges. Spread the remaining icing thickly all over the sides and top of the cake.
