This cake made my day. It was as if a my little pony pooped a rainbow onto my plate and it tasted like almonds! This cake was Ric's lovely creation and it was so much fun to make- sort of like when you're a kid and you get a huge box of brightly coloured crayons and you get to go ape-shit with them (and then eat them!)
Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond essence
- 2 tsp distilled white vinegar
- 2 cups cold water
- red, yellow, blue and green food colouring
Pre-heat the oven to about 120 degrees Celsius.
Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vanilla, almond and water. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and mix. Add the vinegar and then pour equal measures of the batter into four separate bowls.
Add a few drops (or more depending on the strength of the colour you desire) of the various food colourants into each bowl and mix.
Lightly grease a cake baking tin and then proceed to pour each of the different coloured batters into the tin. Once all of the batter has been poured, place the tin in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes.
The cake was super sweet and moist so we didn't do icing but, if desired, let the cake cool off and then ice for a sickly decadent old-school, Rainbow Bright treat.
