Ingredients

  • For vanilla sponge
    10 eggs
  • 240g refined sugar
  • 320g all-purpose flour
  • 30g cake gel
  • 12g baking powder
  • 40g refined oil
  • 7 VIBGYOR food colours
  • 2-3 tsp of vanilla essence

For the cream cheese filling

  • 7 6” round sponge sheet of ½ cm or larger height
  • 125g cream cheese
  • 120g butter
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 10ml vanilla essence
  • 30g sugar syrup

Steps

To bake the vanilla sponge

*Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk it. Then divide the mixture into seven equal parts and add the seven rainbow (VIBGYOR) colours to each of the 7 parts separately.

*Then move on to lining a 6-inch cake mould with butter or parchment paper and pour the coloured vanilla cake mix individually, one in each of the seven cake moulds.

*Bake at 180 deg Celsius for at least 20 minutes.

To make the cream cheese filling and assembling the cake

*Whisk the butter until it has soft peaks and is light and fluffy in its texture. To this, add the icing sugar and blend it well.

*Finally, add the vanilla essence. To this, blend the buttercream along with the cream cheese.

*Now, take each of the coloured sponge and soak them with sugar syrup by carefully pouring on them.

*In the order of  VIBGYOR, lay the violet sponge down first and layer with the cream cheese and buttercream mixture.

*Now add the next layer which is in the indigo colour and repeat the layering of the mixture, following it up with sponges of blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

*Continue doing until you top the red sponge with the filling. Dust it with icing sugar and cut a nice chunky slice to enjoy!
