Pride Rainbow Cake Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Divide Batter and Color

Divide the batter evenly into six bowls. Add a different food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.

Layer the Batter

Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans, layering them as you go. Start with red at the bottom and add the other colors in order.

Bake the Cakes

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cakes

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frost the Cake

Once cooled, frost with your choice of vanilla or strawberry frosting. Stack the layers and serve.
