Sugar Sweet Sundays: Rainbow Cake

Posted by | |




Super Sweet Sundays



Hi and welcome to the first of many installments of Sugar Sweet Sundays. So, here's the deal every Sunday, I will blog the sweetest of sweet things and show you how to make them!!! (Yay!!)  So this Sunday I decided to make Rainbow Cupcakes, because living in England sucks, we only have two season Autumn and Winter, so these cupcakes will definately bring some colour and some joy to a miserable Sunday (or any other day)

For this week's Super Sweet Sunday you will need:

Self Raising Flour (110g) 
Sugar (110g)
Butter (110g plus another 110g for the icing. Also make sure the butter is really soft, I put mine in the microwave for 10 SECONDS)
Eggs 
Milk (2 tbsps)
Icing sugar (240g)
Vanilla Extract (110g)
Food Colouring (I used Red, Blue, Green and Yellow AND you have to use the gel food colourings - it won't work with the liquid ones)
Cupcake Cases 
Bowls


















What you need to do...

You're basically going to make a simple vanilla cake batter.

So first you wanna cream together some sugar (110g) and butter(110g) till its pale and fluffy....like clouds

Then add two eggs bit, by bit, then mix in the vanilla 

Add your flour (110g) 

Once you have gained a nice thick consistency, you will need to seperate the mixture into four seperate bowls (well I had four colours, so I had four bowls, if you have ten colours use ten bowls) 



To each bowl add your food colouring

















Okay, so as you can see I used yellow, but it didn't come out the way I wanted but thanks to my primary school knowledge of colours I know that blue and red make PURPLE :)


















Now evenly share each colour into your cupcake cases 

















Then put into the oven for ten to fiften minutes on gas mark 4

AND THEN!!!!



















Arnt they cute?????

Now for the best bit....the ICING :)






All you need to do is beat together the butter(240g), butter (110g) and two table spoons of milk - you have to beat it really hard!!! That way it becomes really pale and fluffy like this....



















Now all thats left to do is putting the icing on your cakes  et voila:) 










Now have a happy Sugar Sweet Sundayxxx
