Rainbow Layer Cake


Alrite, arini i nak share resepi rainbow layer cake yg best ni!! Hehehe. Resepi asal dr Kaitlin Flannery, tp i copy dr Martha Stewart Show website.


BAHAN : * Sebaiknya guna loose base tin cake @ springform tin cake saiz 9'

Vegetable shortening ~ sapu pada tin kek
3 cups all-purpose flour 
4 teaspoons baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature 
2 1/3 cups sugar 
5 large egg whites, room temperature 
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
1 1/2 cups milk, room temperature 
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (klu xde, campur merah & biru) gel food coloring 
Lemony Swiss Meringue Buttercream ~ i guna fresh cream frosting

Directions : 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush six 9-inch-round cake pans (or as many 9-inch cake pans as you have, reusing them as necessary) with shortening. Line bottom of each cake pan with parchment paper; brush again and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Slowly add egg whites and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add flour mixture and milk in two alternating additions, beginning with the flour and ending with the milk. Mix until well combined. Divide batter evenly between six medium bowls. Add enough of each color of food coloring to each bowl, whisking, until desired shade is reached. Transfer each color to an individual cake pan. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 15 minutes (working in batches if necessary). Remove cakes from oven and transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto a wire rack; re-invert and let cool completely. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the purple layer on the cake plate. Spread a scant 1 cup buttercream filling over the first layer with a small offset spatula so it extends just beyond edges. Repeat process with blue, green, yellow, and orange layers. Place the remaining red layer on top, bottom-side up. Gently sweep away any loose crumbs with a pastry brush. Using an offset spatula, cover the top and sides with a thin layer of frosting (also use any of the excess frosting visible between the layers). Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Using an offset spatula, cover cake again with remaining frosting.

And the result .....

Tadaaa..... credit tu Asma, thanks tolong amik pic, tuan buat kek tringinnn nak tgk..hihiiii, sukeee tgk rainbow layer tu, mmg leceh nak buat tp sgt2 berbaloi!! Setiap layer kek dimasak lebih kurang 15minit dgn menggunakan spring form tin, klu bole jgn guna tin foil 9' sbb setiap layer ni sgt nipis so klu guna tin foil ssh nak dapatkan layer yg sekata, xcantik laa bila potong.. hehee.. Selamat Mencuba!

kalau guna butter untuk sapu tin tu boleh tak? untuk ganti vegetable shortening.

hehe..akak, lynn ada letak pic tin kat atas, klu akak guna tin kek biasa (yg xde loose base) mmg ssh nak keluarkan kek sbb nipis setiap layer tu, takut pecah terburai..huhu.. mmg leceh nak wat, tp menarik & sedap! Kak ble guna butter klu xde shortening/ guna minyak sayur pon bole:) selamat mencuba:))
