I have an urge to make a rainbow cake!

[TastesLikePanda]

One with six individual layers of separate colours! They look so pretty... I have no occasion to do so, I just want to make something bright and cheerful to liven up after the horrible weather...

I have never made a Victoria sponge before... Is there a fool proof recipe that would be easy to triple up on?

Dunno whether a standard Victoria sponge recipe would work, I think rainbow cakes are normally a denser Madeira or yoghurt-based texture, but I will point out that the colours absolutely need to be proper paste, not liquid.

there's one in BBC good food magazine this month. or link here to Edd Kimbers and martha stewart.

Thankhs! Looked at that Good Food recipe but it looked a bit complicated with whisking egg whites up and stuff!
Found a nice straightforward one so will be attempting it tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip about the paste colourings,Squeaky, I wouldn't have known that. [bugrin]

Either paste or gel actually but liquid colourings will not work, so I thought I'd warn you just in case you didn't know.

Good luck, report back.

I made this one twice last week.

I got gel food colouring from Amazon.
