Eggless Rainbow Cake Recipe
Description
This cake combines dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and baking soda—with wet ingredients of sugar, neutral cooking oil, yogurt, and butter. The batter is mixed carefully to maintain consistency before being divided equally to receive food coloring in yellow, orange, red, green, and blue. Each colored portion is gently folded to incorporate the dye evenly.
The colored batters are spooned sequentially into a lined and greased 8-inch round cake pan, layering colors to develop a rainbow effect visible after baking. Tapping the pan removes air bubbles, and the optional marbling step uses a skewer to create gentle swirls on the top. Baking proceeds at 180°C until a skewer inserted comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked with a tender crumb.
This cake, free of eggs, suits those avoiding eggs but wanting a celebratory, visually striking dessert. It is appropriate for birthdays or other gatherings where colorful presentations are desired. Careful coverage of the pan base is important to avoid crumbling and maintain structural integrity during removal.
