rainbow cake.

August 17th, 2011.

It's Indonesia's Independence Day today. Meaning holiday, no work, nothing to do. I've been thinking of making rainbow cookies, doesn't have to be huge or whatever, but i still want to try. It supposed to be a seven layered cake in the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink), but since i'm only using 1 cake tin (do'oh), i found it very time-consuming. So i guess five layers are just about enough. For the cake recipe, i'm using easy vanilla cake recipe that i found in random recipe websites. For the icing, just mix unsalted butter and icing sugar, or you can add Betty Crocker's vanilla cream frosting.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
red and orange batter in which i finally mixed altogether.
yellow and green batter.
blue, green, and purple batter.
