RAINBOW CAKE


Ingredients

  • Vegetable shortening (I use margarine)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 1/3 cups sugar
  • 5 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups milk, room temperature
  • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gel food coloring
  • Cheese Butter Cream for frosting

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush six 9-inch-square cake pans (or as many 9-inch cake pans as you have, reusing them as necessary) with shortening/margarine. Line bottom of each cake pan with parchment paper; brush again and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Slowly add egg whites and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add flour mixture and milk in two alternating additions, beginning with the flour and ending with the milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Divide batter evenly between six medium bowls. Add enough of each color of food coloring to each bowl, whisking, until desired shade is reached. Transfer each color to an individual cake pan. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 15 minutes (working in batches if necessary).
  4. Remove cakes from oven and transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto a wire rack; re-invert and let cool completely.
  5. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the purple layer on the cake plate. Spread a scant 1 cup buttercream filling over the first layer with a small offset spatula so it extends just beyond edges. Repeat process with blue, green, yellow, and orange layers.
  6. Place the remaining red layer on top, bottom-side up. Gently sweep away any loose crumbs with a pastry brush. Using an offset spatula, cover the top and sides with a thin layer of frosting (also use any of the excess frosting visible between the layers). Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  7. Using an offset spatula, cover cake again with remaining frosting.


TIPS:
  • You may use yogurt or vinegar to pop out the color so no need to use tons of food coloring. Just add about 1/3cup or 2table spoons yogurt into the batter.

Braided Bread with 3, 4, and 5 strands (Challah) ... its a sandwich bread



Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 3 c. bread flour
  • 3tsp bakers bonus
  • 2tsp ibis blue
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 large yolks, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 6 tbsp. sugar (in its original recipe used 3tbsp only)
  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • Poppy or sesame seeds or chopped almonds (optional)

Directions

  1. Mix the flour with bakers bonus and ibis blue. Set a side.
  2. Combine yeast and water in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer. Let stand until yeast is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of the flour, the eggs, yolks, oil, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until blended.
  4. Gradually stir in the remaining flour.
  5. Knead the dough for about 8 minutes by hand or with the dough hook on low to medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl.
  6. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn it once to coat with oil.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Punch down the dough, knead briefly, and return to the bowl. Let rise until nearly doubled.
  9. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. On an unfloured surface, roll into balls. Let rest, loosely covered, for 10 minutes.
  10. Grease and sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal (to prevent the bread from sticking).
  11. Divine one dough into 3pieces, the other one with 4pieces and the last one with 5 pieces. Roll each dough ball into a 7-inch long rope. Braid the dough. Pinch the ends together and tuck both ends of the braid underneath the loaf to hide the seams.
  12. Loosely cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  13. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  14. Whisk together water and remaining egg for the egg wash. Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash, then sprinkle with seeds.
  15. Baking until the crust is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 to 35 minutes.
