Rainbow Sherbet Layer Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • 2 cups rainbow sherbet, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter into six bowls. Color each bowl of batter with a different food coloring—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Mix well.
  7. Using a ladle or scoop, layer the colored batters into the prepared pans, one color at a time. You can swirl them for a fun effect!
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  9. Once cooled, frost and fill the layers with softened rainbow sherbet between the cake layers. Add any additional frosting you’d like on the outer layer.
  10. Slice it up, serve, and enjoy every fabulous bite!
