Rainbow Cake with Buttercream
Ya. It's rainbow cake again. This time I did it for my niece's fullmoon. Feeling stress as I wanna make the best I could for her. Did some trial and error. Some ended with nice colour but not nice cake. After few rounds of discussion, my darling shifu mentioned that if heavy cream then heavy cake. I've decided to follow her success rainbow cake. I added 2 eggs to make it 6 eggs cake. I was so happy that my cake turn out to be a nice looking cake. It's tall and soft. Hopefully they will like it. Each colour batter is bout 380g. End result of each layer bout 2.5cm tall. Weighed the cake. Total bout 2kg. Wow big cake! So here you go. Following recipe is for 2 layers only. So please do own calculation.
