I was in love with the colourful sandwich cake they served in cafes but then I am too lazy and miser to go out and spend. So here's what I do. Get my people shop for the ingredients and then make my cool snacks myself. :P You too can try out.
Ingredients
·
Flour (300g)
·
Sugar (200g)
·
Butter (100g)
·
3-4 eggs
Milk (2-3 tablespoon)
· Baking powder1/2 teaspoon
·
Cocoa powder (two tablespoon)
·
Cadbury Diary Milk Chocolate (8 cube)
Vanilla essence (a few drops)
Strawberry essence ( few drops)
Edible pink food colour (1-2 drops)
Procedure:
1. Take
sugar in a bowl and add melted butter to it. Mix it well until the sugar blends
with the butter and becomes fine.
Tip: Use grounded/powdered sugar to save time.
2. Now add
the eggs and beat it well.
Caution: Do not add eggs to hot butter unless you want sweet scrambled eggs.
3. Add flour
little by little and keep mixing it.
4. Add half
teaspoon of baking powder.
5. Keep
beating the batter until a thick, smooth consistency is achieved.
6. Now take out the mixture in equal quantity in three separate blows and keep aside.
7. Break the chocolate cubes in small pieces and using the double boiler method melt it smooth. Add little milk to make it quick.
8. Now add this melted chocolate to one bowl of the batter you have kept aside. Mix it well and add cocoa
powder. Beat well. Now in another batter add strawberry essence and edible pink colour. Mix it well. Add vanilla essence to the white batter. Now you have three batters- one brown, one pink and the other
white.
9. Grease
the baking mould with oil and sprinkle some flour.
10. Now comes the main part of bringing the texture of the rainbow
cake. Take a tablespoon for each batter (Brown, pink and white). Drop one
tablespoon of white batter in the center of the mould. Then exactly on
top of it drop the pink batter followed by the brown. Again drop the white batter then the pink and brown. Repeat
this until you have put the batters one after another in the baking
mould. The mixture will keep spreading on its own as you keeping dropping the batters in the center.
Tip: Pre-heat
oven to 180 degrees while you are pouring the batter.
11. Put the
filled mould in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
12. After 40
minutes check if the cake is ready or not by pricking in a fork. If the
fork comes out clean, the cake is ready.
13. Turn off
the oven and keep the cake inside for some time to allow it to cool.
14. When it
cools down, take it out from the mould and serve with your favourite strawberry jam or chocolate
topping.
You can make rainbow muffins by changing your mould. Use cupcake moulds instead. Tada! There are your fluffy rainbow muffins!
Do share your views if you have tried the recipe. :)
