Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 3 round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Divide the batter into separate bowls and add different colors of gel food coloring to each bowl, mixing to create vibrant layers.
- Pour each colored batter into a separate cake pan and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool completely in the pans, then remove and set aside.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Drip:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream.
- Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place the first layer of the cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting (you can use buttercream or cream cheese frosting).
- Add the second layer and repeat the frosting step.
- Add the third layer on top and smooth the frosting around the entire cake.
- Carefully pour the white chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Decorate the top with sprinkles and any additional decorations you prefer.
- Serve:
- Allow the cake to set for a few minutes, then slice and serve to your guests!
Notes
- To create the colorful layers, you can adjust the amount of food coloring based on how vibrant you want each layer to be.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.
- You can also use different types of frosting or fillings between the layers if preferred.
