Rainbow Fruit Cake Recipe
Description
The Rainbow Fruit Cake Recipe begins with a light sponge batter created by beating eggs with sugar until very fluffy, then gently folding in flour. After dividing the batter, each portion is tinted with different food colorings. The layers bake separately until set and can be tested with a toothpick. The frosting is a smooth blend of cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, further aerated by adding cold heavy whipping cream beaten to triple volume.
Assembly involves layering the colored cakes with the cream mixture and fresh fruit in between. The frosting is spread on the sides and top, then garnished with kiwi and berries for fresh accents. The vibrant cake offers a balance of airy texture, lightly sweetened creamy filling, and fresh fruit brightness.
Ingredients
- 10 egg
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- Food Coloring
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 10 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- kiwi for decorating, fresh
- Berry for decorating, fresh
Instructions
Preparing the Cake Layers
- Beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture doubles three times in volume. Using a spatula, fold in the flour in thirds, being extra careful not to over mix the batter. Next, separate the batter into five equal portions for the five separate cake layers.
- Add a different food coloring into each layer, folding it in lightly so you don't compromise the fluffiness of the batter.
- Bake each layer at 350°F in a 9-inch pan for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean after being stuck in the center.
Making the Cake Cream
- Beat the cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Next, add in the extra cold heavy whipping cream and beat on high speed until it increases 3 times in volume.
Assembling the Cake
- Place a cake layer on a decorative plate. Spread on some of the cake cream and top with a layer of fruit. Repeat until you run out of cake layers.
- Use the remaining cake cream to frost the outside of the cake. Decorate the top with fresh fruit. Slice and enjoy!
