For the Cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

For the Frosting:

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Freeze-dried SKITTLES, crushed, for decoration

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another large bowl, cream together the softened 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 buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Divide the batter evenly into six bowls.

3. Add Food Coloring:

• Tint each bowl of batter with a different gel food coloring to create the rainbow spectrum.

4. Layer the Batter:

• Starting with one color, pour the batter into the center of the prepared pan. Allow it to spread naturally.
• Repeat with the remaining colors, layering each on top of the previous one.

5. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Prepare the Frosting:

• In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
• Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.

7. Assemble the Cake:

• Once the cakes are completely cooled, level the tops if necessary.
• Place the purple layer on a serving plate and frost the top. Continue stacking and frosting with each color.
• Frost the sides and top of the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

8. Decorate with Crushed SKITTLES:

• Crush freeze-dried SKITTLES into small pieces.
• Sprinkle the crushed SKITTLES over the top of the cake for added flavor and a colorful finish.

9. Slice and Serve:

• Once the cake is assembled and decorated, slice and serve to reveal the vibrant rainbow layers.
