Rainbow Cake! (Yellow Cake Base)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Separate into 6 different bowls, and add color gels into the batter. Remember a little goes a long way, but make them as BOLD (add a lot) as you want!

3. 3

   Now comes the fun part. Using a measuring cup or disher, place scoops of each colored batter randomly into prepared pans. If you would like a marbled effect, swirl the colored batter together with a toothpick before placing into the oven.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped. Cool 15 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks.
