Easy-To-Make Rainbow Cake
INGREDIENTS:
• One boxed white cake mix plus eggs, water, and oil to make it according to the box.
• Icing colors in Purple, Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Yellow.
DIRECTIONS:
• Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
• Make cake mix according to box
• Grease a 10-inch springform pan or 2- 9 inch cake pans. Place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom of your pan/pans.
• Evenly divide batter into 6 bowls (about 1 cup of batter in each)
• Tint each bowl of batter a different color using gel colors.
• Pour 1 of the colored batters in the center of the springform pan. Next, pour the second color into the center of the first color. Continue doing this with each color. As you pour the next color it will push the previous color out toward the side of the pan.
• If you are using 2 pans, pour 1/2 of each color into each pan.
• Bake at 350 according to package directions.
• Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire cake rack to finish cooling.
Cool for at least two hours before decorating with your favorite frosting and fondant. Or, you can use this yummy cream cheese one and some fun sprinkles.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted
• up to 2 teaspoons of milk
DIRECTIONS:
• Beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until they’re incorporated and creamy.
• Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Add in the powdered sugar, half a cup at a time.
• Add in the milk until you achieve the desired consistency.
Do a crumb layer. Not sure how to do one? Wilton has a post that will tell you everything you need to know about crumb coating a cake.
Coat a second time, and put any toppings that you desire, such as rainbow sprinkles, colored sugar, or any tiny candies you like.

I have a cousin who loves Dr. Pepper, so she’d go for that one. I think the Blueberry sounds delicious.

Yum! All of these recipes are so fun and unique! I have done a rainbow cake for my daughter before, but it was with a box mix. I can’t wait to try the blueberry! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
