Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 box Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
• 2 cups Dairy-free butter
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons Dairy-free milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line six 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly into six small bowls. Add a different food coloring to each bowl to create red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple batter.

Step 5

Pour each colored batter into its own prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

For the frosting, beat the dairy-free butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add dairy-free milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is fluffy.

Step 7

Once the cakes are fully cooled, begin layering them with a thin layer of frosting between each. Start with purple, followed by blue, green, yellow, orange, and red on top.

Step 8

Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting and smooth it out. Decorate as desired.

Step 9

Slice the cake and serve to enjoy the colorful layers!
