Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring in various colors
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla extract and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into several bowls. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl to create different colors.
- Pour the colored batters into the cake pans, layering them to create a rainbow effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing.
- While the cakes cool, prepare the white chocolate drip. Heat the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Once the cakes are cooled, stack them on a cake stand, frosting between each layer with your choice of frosting.
- Pour the white chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Decorate with sprinkles on top and around the edges.
- Allow the ganache to set before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother finish, chill the cake layers for a few minutes before frosting to ensure the ganache sets nicely.
- You can use any frosting of your choice, such as buttercream, for the layers and frosting between the cake.
