Ingredients...
* 2 cups sifted self-raising flour
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 tsps baking powder
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup milk
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla
How to...
1. In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. You can use any spoon or fork for this.
2. Using electric mixer on low speed, mix in the butter.
3. Next, mix in the milk. Your mixture should pretty lumpy and resemble oatmeal or cereal.
4. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, at which point your dough should immediately smoothen out.
5. Beat on high speed until smooth, creamy and luscious, about two minutes.
6. Divide batter evenly into 5 small bowls; each should have a little more than 1/3 cup batter. Add about 1/2 tsp food coloring to each bowl to make red, orange, yellow, green and blue batters. Stir well, so no streaks of plain batter remain. Add additional food coloring if necessary.
7. Bake in the centre of a 190°C oven until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes
If you like to do some frosting, u can use either cream cheese frosting or:
Quick Buttercream Frosting
* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
* 3 tbsp milk
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* approx 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
In a large bowl, beat together butter, milk and vanilla. Gradually add in the confectioners sugar until frosting reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. You will probably use 2 1/2-3 cups.
