Ingredients

This recipe for Tesco Rainbow Cake is a classic and easy to make. It's perfect for birthday parties, special occasions or just a fun treat for the family. For this recipe, you will need:

3 large eggs
200g caster sugar
200g self-raising flour
100ml vegetable oil
100ml semi-skimmed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Food colouring (colours of your choice)
200g Tesco Finest White Chocolate, melted

Instructions

To make this delicious rainbow cake, preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and lightly grease a 20cm round cake tin.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and oil until light and fluffy. Then add in the flour, milk and vanilla extract and mix until everything is combined.

Divide the mixture into 6 separate bowls and add a few drops of food colouring to each bowl to get the desired colour.

Pour each colour of the mixture into the cake tin, adding each colour in a circular pattern. Then, using a skewer, swirl the cake mixture around to create a marbled effect.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Once cooked, leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, melt the white chocolate and pour over the cake. Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

When making this cake, be sure to use the best quality ingredients you can find. The better the ingredients, the better the taste. If you don't have any self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 150ml plain flour with 1½ teaspoons baking powder.

For a more vibrant cake, you can use more food colouring. Just be careful not to use too much as it can make the cake too sweet. You can also switch up the flavours by using different extracts such as almond or coconut.

If you want to make this cake extra special, you can top it with some fresh fruit, icing sugar or edible flowers.

Storage

This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To defrost, place the cake in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 1-2 hours.

Serving Suggestions

This Tesco Rainbow Cake is perfect for any occasion. It can be enjoyed as is or served with a dollop of double cream or ice cream. It would also be delicious with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

If you have any leftover cake, you can also use it to make truffles or cake pops. Simply crumble the cake and mix with some melted white chocolate. Then shape into balls and dip in melted chocolate.

This Tesco Rainbow Cake is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. Enjoy!
