This fun rainbow-coloured cake uses natural ingredients to create its rainbow effect. It's also lower in sugar than similar cakes, so is a healthier option for all rainbow lovers.
1 Preheat oven to 180ºC and line five 20cm-cake tins with baking paper. If you don’t have more than one cake tin, you will have to do this in batches.
2 In the bowl, place all wet ingredients and beat with an electric beater until smooth. Sift dry ingredients into wet mix and stir. Divide batter evenly into five bowls.
3 Into each bowl, place individual colouring ingredients and mix well. Pour each coloured mixture into prepared cake tins (or start with the blue batter) and cook for 12-15 minutes. Allow cakes to cool before assembling and icing.
4 To make icing, in a blender, place cream cheese, icing sugar and lemon juice and blitz until smooth.
5 To assemble cake, place blue cake on serving plate, spread over some icing, repeat with green, yellow, orange and red cake layers. Spread remainder of icing around the outside.
6 Arrange edible flowers, if using, and raspberries over cake with candles and serve.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and check baking powder, turmeric, cream cheese and icing sugar are gluten free.
NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
