Calories per serving (approximate): 400 kcal

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  2. Divide and Color the Batter: Divide the chocolate cake batter into six equal portions. Tint each portion with a different color of gel food coloring to create the rainbow layers.
  3. Bake the Layers: Pour each colored batter into separate greased and lined cake pans. Bake according to package instructions. Allow the layers to cool completely.
  4. Assemble the Rainbow Cake: Once cooled, layer the colored cake rounds, creating a rainbow effect. Spread a thin layer of frosting between each layer to secure them.
  5. Crumb Coat: Apply a thin crumb coat of frosting over the assembled cake to trap any loose crumbs. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  6. Final Frosting: Frost the rainbow cake with a generous layer of buttercream frosting. Smooth the sides and top for a polished finish.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice into the Perfect Rainbow Chocolate Cake, revealing the vibrant layers. Serve and enjoy a slice of edible happiness.

Note: Customize the frosting colors and decorations to your liking for a personalized touch.
