This rainbow cake just makes me feel so happy. I absolutely LOVED slicing into it to see all those gorgeous colorful layers! The best part is, this rainbow cake isn’t just for looks, it tastes absolutely amazing. You won’t have a crumb leftover. The sweetest mini celebration cake! layers of colorful, moist cake with vanilla flavour and a vibrant whipped cream frosting. Simple and suitable for small crowds, this little layer cake is delicious and fun for all ages! I made this cake for my daughter maha’s 7th birthday. She wanted a rainbow theme so i incorporated rainbow and her favourite unicorn in one little cake. The cake looked super cool and colourful and the frosting is just awesome. I coloured whipped cream with different food colours. Then i took a huge piping bag and added dollops of the cream into the bag. When i started to pipe around the cake, each layers got different colours and pattern. It created a lovely unicorn colour. I have shared a different version of rainbow cake in this blog before. It has buttercream frosting in them.
