Ingredient List
Cake
- 2 boxes Betty Crocker™ Velvety Vanilla Cake Mix
- 90 ml vegetable oil (8 tbsp)
- 6 medium free range eggs
- 180 ml water
- 1 teaspoon purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red gel food colouring
Filling / Topping
- 1 tub Betty Crocker™ Vanilla Buttercream Style Icing
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens) / Gas Mark 4.
- Mix the eggs, oil, water and cake mix gently together and whisk (by hand or electric mixer) for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Divide the mixture equally between six small bowls and colour each one with a different colour using the food gels.
- Pour three of these into each of the greased cake tins and pop the other three bowls into the fridge.
- Bake the sponges in the center of the oven for 25 minutes or until a rounded knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, then allow to cool on a cooling rack. Clean the cake tins, re-grease and line.
- Pour the rest of the three mixtures into the tins and bake for a further 25 minutes as before.
- Spread a layer of icing between each sponge when cold and sandwich them together. Spread the rest over the sides and top of the cake.
- Decorate as desired and then you are ready to impress!
