Description
A delightful multicolored cake perfect for celebrations that brings joy and sparks creativity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- Food coloring (pink, blue, purple, yellow)
- Buttercream frosting
- Unicorn horn (cake cone or fondant)
- Edible glitter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Divide the batter into four bowls and dye each with food coloring.
- Pour dollops of each colored batter into the prepared pans until all the batter is used. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Once cooled, stack layers with buttercream frosting between each layer and on top. Decorate with a unicorn horn and sprinkle edible glitter.
