Rainbow Cake
This recipe comes to me from Guest recipe blogger, Mandy Koch. She is a friend from my good ol days in St. Clair, Michigan and moved to Arizona around the same time I did. She lives here in Arizona with her husband and little boy. She loves to cook, bake, and experiment in her kitchen. This latest adventure I knew had to be documented on the Food Tramp Diaries. I think it is SO cool!!
Ingredients
1 box of white cake mix – following the instructions with only the egg whites, keeping the batter white.
food coloring
white frosting
mini marshmallows
Once cake is mixed, separate the batter evenly into 6 bowls
Use food coloring to make each bowl of batter a different color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
Butter or spray a bundt pan very well, then start layering the colors
Red (make sure to spread the batter around evenly) and repeat for each color…(o, y, g, b, p)
Bake at 350 for 38-40 minute (or as directed on the back of the box)
Let cake cool slightly and cut it in half
Using your favorite white frosting follow the same instructions to dye the frosting as you did with the cake batter
Frost when cake has completely cooled
Save a bit of white frosting for the ends
Once the rainbow has been frosted with the colors, frost the ends with the white frosting
Mini marshmallows can be added to give the look of clouds
