Rainbow Cake!

So, my eye has been set on this cake all summer!! My senses have been attentive to an opportunity to give this cake a try! Well, it finally came!

But, of course, I had to make some changes. When I look at this cake, yes it looks beautiful, but not exactly practical. Who wants a plate with 12 layers of cake & only a tiny bit of frosting? You're just asking for a dry mouth and a glass of milk!

 

So, I cut the cake in half and put a thin layer of frosting in between each layer. 

I highly recommend this!

Rainbow Cake

2 boxes of white cake mix

Purple--1/2 cup diced purple grapes (+ a drop or 2 of purple food coloring)

Blue-- 1/2 cup blueberries (puree most of them)

Green-- 1/2 cup diced kiwi (+ a drop or 2 of green food coloring)

Yellow-- zest of 1 lemon & a squeeze of lemon juice

Orange-- zest of 1 orange and a squeeze of orange juice

Red-- 1/2 cup pureed strawberries

**Mix together the 2 box mixes and split them into 6 bowls. Mix the fruit into each bowl and bake separately (I used a 9in. circle pan) for about 20 minutes.

**I used a buttercream frosting instead. It was 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup milk, 2 T. vanilla, 6ish cups of powd. sugar.

Would I make this cake again? 

It's debatable. It looks great, tastes great, but takes FOREVER!!

My answer...  yes.  But only if someone requests it!
