Instructions
Cake:
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In your stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until much lighter in color.
-
Add in the egg whites and vanilla until totally combined.
-
Add the salt and baking powder to the flour.
-
Add in the dry ingredients and the milk gradually alternating 1 cup of flour and ½ cup of milk at a time.
-
Add one cup of the batter to 6 different bowls. Color each bowl with the gel food coloring in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
-
Mix until the colors are fully combined.
-
Spoon a layer of each colored batter. Start with purple, then blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally red.
-
Bake for 30 for 35 minutes or until the middle of the cake is fully baked and let cool on a rack.
-
Poke holes on the top of the cake and pour the condensed milk over the holes.
Frosting:
-
Add the gelatin to cold water in a small bowl and mix. Let it sit and bloom for five minutes.
-
In your stand mixer add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and clear vanilla.
-
After the gelatin has set, put it in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds to melt the gelatin.
-
Using the paddle of your stand mixer, scrape the contents of the bowl for a minute to start building the peaks of the whipped cream and giving the gelatin time to cool a bit.
-
Add in the gelatin and continue beating until you have soft-stiff peaks.
-
Pour onto the cake and spread.
