Rainbow Inside as well as Out Cake
From Coco Cake Land by Lyndsay Sung © 2018 Lyndsay Sung. Reprinted inwards organisation amongst Roost Books, an imprint of Shambhala Publications, Inc.

I made this cake amongst a large stance inwards mind: that goodness tin prevail inwards the world. This cake represents positive calorie-free as well as energy, goodness worldwide, credence of all people, hope, as well as change. It industrial plant marvelously for whatever exceptional celebration, whether it’s a 10th birthday party, a coming-out party, or a wedding. It is magic on the within as well as out.

For the Cake Base
1 recipe Vanilla Cream Cake (recipe below)
Five seven yesteryear 2-inch circular cake pans

For the Cake Decoration
1 recipe (6 cups) Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream (recipe below)
¼ teaspoon each gel nutrient color inwards purple, blue, green, yellow, as well as pink

Tools
5 disposable piping bags (no piping tips)
Cake turntable

1. Prepare the cake. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Make the cake batter according to the recipe instructions. Divide the batter evenly betwixt 5 medium-size bowls. Color each bowl of batter amongst i of the gel colors as well as pour each colored batter into its ain prepared cake pan. Use an offset spatula to marking the batter. Bake for xv minutes as well as banking concern check for doneness. Continue baking as well as checking every 2 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the ticker of each cake layer comes out clean. Let the layers cool completely on wire racks.

2. Following the rainbow’s ROYGBIV concept, level, fill, as well as frost the cake to the crumb coat phase using uncolored buttercream. I similar to start amongst the majestic layer on the bottom, as well as thence blue, green, yellow, as well as pinkish every bit the transcend layer. Chill inwards the refrigerator or freezer until the frosting is set, close xxx minutes.


3. Divide the remaining buttercream evenly into 5 medium-size bowls. Tint each bowl of buttercream amongst its ain gel color, folding the gel color inwards amongst a spatula or spoon. Swiss meringue buttercream doesn’t absorb gel color every bit good every bit uncomplicated buttercream, thence y'all may require a piddling to a greater extent than than y'all intend to attain vibrant colors. Or y'all tin locomote along the color system pastel—still real cute!

4. Fill each piping pocketbook amongst a dissimilar color of buttercream. With scissors, snip the destination off each bag, close ½ inch from the tip.


5. Pipe the cake. Place the cake on the cake turntable. Starting from the bottom of the cake, pipage the buttercream around the sides inwards fifty-fifty horizontal rows, piece of cake turning the cake every bit y'all pipe. Begin amongst the majestic buttercream for the start row as well as locomote your agency upward the cake amongst blue, green, yellow, as well as endure pink, inwards the guild of the rainbow—the same sequence every bit your stacked cake layers.



6. Now, select your cake bench scraper as well as seat it at a perpendicular angle against the cake. Begin smoothing the buttercream, turning the cake every bit y'all locomote as well as scraping the excess frosting into an empty bowl. Make every bit many turns of the cake every bit y'all require inwards guild to practise the polish rainbow stripes. If y'all notice there’s a hole, add together a tiny amount of the missing color as well as polish it i time to a greater extent than to fill.



7. Finally, pipage the transcend of the cake amongst buttercream “kisses” (or, every bit I telephone yell upward them, blobettes). Use the residuum of the buttercream inwards varying colors to embrace the transcend of the cake, alternating colors every bit y'all encounter fit.



Crafty Finishes
Rainbow Topper



To brand the rainbow topper, purpose a 3-inch circle punch to punch a circle from a slice of pinkish arts and crafts paper. Cut the circle inwards one-half using scissors. From yellow, green, blue, as well as majestic arts and crafts paper, manus cutting semicircles inwards descending sizes. Glue the pieces onto the pinkish one-half circle to shape a rainbow, leaving the pinkish every bit the transcend edge. Then, amongst sudden scissors, cutting out a piddling one-half circle from the bottom majestic row to shape the U-shaped base of operations of the rainbow. Tape the rainbow to a wooden skewer as well as insert it into the ticker of the cake



Vanilla Cream Cake
I dearest this not-too-sweet vanilla butter cake. It uses cake flour, but gets a sturdier-crumb boost from four large eggs as well as 1 loving cup of heavy cream. Frost it amongst Simple Vanilla Buttercream as well as rainbow sprinkles, as well as you’ll live whisked through infinite as well as fourth dimension dorsum to a heavenly childhood dream.

Makes 3 8 yesteryear 2-inch circular cake layers or around 28 regular-sized cupcakes (cupcake liners filled two-thirds full)

1 loving cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1¾ loving cup granulated white sugar
four large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 loving cup heavy cream (33% milk fat)
1 loving cup whole milk (3.25% milk fat)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare 3 8 yesteryear 2-inch circular cake pans every bit described on page 000.
In the bowl of a stand upward mixer fitted amongst the paddle attachment, vanquish the butter as well as saccharide on high speed until calorie-free as well as fluffy, close 2 minutes, scraping downwardly the sides of the bowl amongst a spatula every bit needed. Turn the mixer downwardly to depression speed as well as add together the eggs i at a fourth dimension until incorporated, as well as thence add together the vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, purpose a balloon whisk to mix together the flour, baking powder, as well as salt.
In a large liquid measure cup, whisk together the cream as well as the milk.
With the mixer on depression speed, add together one-third of the flour mixture, as well as thence one-half of the milk mixture. Keep alternating every bit y'all add together the mixtures, finishing amongst the dry out ingredients. I mix for close xxx to lx seconds total—you practise non wishing to over-mix this batter, but live certain the ingredients are incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly betwixt the prepared cake pans as well as polish the tops amongst an offset spatula. Bake for xx to 25 minutes, checking for doneness at xx minutes. The cakes volition live done when a toothpick inserted inwards the centers comes out build clean as well as the tops of the cakes are calorie-free golden brown.
Let cakes cool completely earlier frosting.

Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream

The electrical load I oft withdraw heed close Swiss meringue buttercream is that it’s “too buttery” as well as sometimes only tastes similar whipped butter. I fiddled for a long fourth dimension amongst the sugar-to-butter ratio for this buttercream. It’s non a measure ratio, but it’s my favorite iteration, producing a frosting that is silky, creamy, sweet, as well as buttery, similar dreamy vanilla H2O ice cream. Crack as well as divide fresh eggs for this. You tin store the unused yolks inwards the freezer—mix each yolk amongst ½ teaspoon of sugar—for time to come purpose inwards H2O ice cream or custard recipes.

Makes close half dozen cups

1 loving cup egg whites (about seven to 8 large eggs)
2¼ cups granulated white sugar
2½ cups unsalted butter, room temperature, cutting into 1 inch cubes
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Seeds of 1 vanilla edible bean (optional)
Pinch of fine body of body of water common salt

To ensure that the metallic bowl of your stand upward mixer is completely clean, dry, as well as gratis of grease, give it a quick wipe out amongst a halved lemon, as well as thence rinse as well as dry out it thoroughly.
In the bowl of the stand upward mixer fitted amongst the whisk attachment, mix the egg whites as well as the saccharide on depression to combine into a sugary slurry. Fill a medium saucepan amongst a few inches of H2O as well as house it on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Set the mixer bowl on transcend of the saucepan to practise a sort of double boiler, making certain the mixer bowl doesn’t behave on the water.
Heat the egg as well as saccharide mixture until it reaches 160°F on a thermometer or is hot to the touch, whisking occasionally. This unremarkably takes me close 5 to seven minutes.
Carefully supply the metallic mixing bowl to the stand upward mixer, amongst the whisk attachment inwards place. Now, convey the mixer upward to high speed as well as vanquish the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, until you’ve created medium-stiff peaks as well as it’s a billowy, sticky, cloudy meringue. Whipping the meringue volition also assistance cool downwardly the bowl.
Swap out the whisk for the paddle attachment. Make certain your meringue has cooled sufficiently earlier adding the butter—the bowl shouldn’t live hot, precisely slightly warm, if that. With the mixer on depression speed, add together the butter a few pieces at a time, until all the butter is incorporated—it volition await similar a thick soup at this point. Add the vanilla extract, if using, the vanilla edible bean seeds, along amongst the pinch of common salt (and whatever modest amount of gel color if thence desired), as well as thence convey the speed upward to medium-high as well as vanquish until a fluffy, silky, magical buttercream has formed, close 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips

If your Swiss meringue buttercream turns into a soupy disaster, endeavor placing the whole bowl inwards the refrigerator for close 5 to 10 minutes to cool it downwardly a bit, as well as thence convey it out as well as endeavor whipping it again, start on depression speed, as well as thence bringing it upward to high speed. Or endeavor adding a few to a greater extent than chunks of butter to the mix.
If your Swiss meringue buttercream becomes a gross-looking, curdled mess, endeavor lightly heating the whole bowl over a low-boiling pot of H2O for 1 minute, precisely to instruct some estrus dorsum inwards there. Once it’s warmed upward a teensy bit, endeavor mixing it again. You volition live amazed at how a bowl of seemingly awful-looking buttercream tin genuinely live saved as well as whipped dorsum into a gorgeous, fluffy, satiny, creamy frosting.

Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream volition locomote along inwards an airtight container for upward to 1 calendar week inwards the refrigerator or upward to 1 calendar month inwards the freezer. Bring it dorsum to room temperature as well as gently rewhip earlier using.
