Ingredients
Method
- CAKE:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Line 9x9 pan with with parchment so it hangs over the side so you can pull the cake out once cooled.
- Measure out flour, put in small bowl set aside.
- Measure out milk, put in small bowl, set aside.
- In mixing bowl add butter, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla.
- Mix on med/high until light and fluffy.
- On medium speed add in one egg at a time, mix until well combined.
- On low speed add the milk and flour, alternating until all add. Increase speed to medium.
- Mix until well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 min or until golden brown and tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool completely.
- BUTTERCREAM:
- In medium sauce pan add the egg whites and sugar.
- On medium heat you are going to whisk egg mixture until sugar is completely dissolved (you can test it by rubbing a small amount between your fingers to test it, it should be completely smooth).
- Transfer to mixing bowl and with whisk attachment whisk on high until stiff peaks form and mixture is cooled.
- On low speed add the butter one piece at a time. Mix until well combined.
- Switch to paddle attachment, add vanilla, mix until smooth and glossy.
- ASSEMBLY:
- Divide buttercream into 6 small bowls or cups.
- Color each cup differently, I used pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple by Wilton.
- Each cup of buttercream will be divided in half, plop half of each color randomly onto cake. Repeat with the second half of the buttercream.
- Swirl the colors and spread the buttercream with a offset spatula or regular spatula.
- Sprinkle with sugar crystals (optional).
- When ready cut and serve.
