Ingredients

  • For the cake batter: 2 bags of Taranis Plain Cake Mix
  • 140 g butter
  • 300 ml water
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • Food colourings (blue, red, yellow)
  • For the buttercream: 350 g butter
  • 1 tsp liquid vanilla
  • 150 g sugar
  • 150 ml Dalia
  • 10 ml arrowroot.
  • 1 packet of Skittles

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
  2. Make a cake batter by mixing the Plain Cake Mix with the water, then the melted butter and the vanilla.
  3. Weigh 150 g of batter into each of 6 separate bowls. Mix the colourings to make each colour: purple (3 blue to 2 magenta), blue (pure), green (3 yellow to 1 blue), yellow (pure), orange (3 yellow to 2 magenta), magenta (pure).
  4. Bake the cakes two at a time, keeping a close eye on them, as overbaking can spoil the colour. Leave to cool on wire racks.
  5. In a saucepan, mix the arrowroot, sugar, vanilla and cold Dalia. Thicken over a low heat. Leave to cool.
  6. Beat the butter in a food processor. Pour in the vanilla cream in a thin stream to get a smooth, creamy buttercream.
  7. Assemble the rainbow cake, alternating the sponges with thin layers of buttercream. Cover the outside and decorate with the sweets.
  8. Tip: be generous with the colourings, especially those containing blue, as they fade during baking.
