Okay, I'll start. I found a good and easy recipe of the famous rainbow cake!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups (300g) plain flour, sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups (335g)  white sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (125g) butter, softened
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
Food colouring
  • red
  • yellow
  • pink
  • green
  • orange
  • purple
  • blue 
Buttercream icing
  • 200g butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (380g) icing sugar mixture
  • 2 tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 180°C, or 160°C fan-forced. Line 2 x 20cm round cake tins with baking paper and set aside.

To make the cake batter, place the flour, sugar and baking powder into a bowl. Using a mixer, beat in the milk, vanilla, butter and eggs until combined. Beat for 4 minutes.

Divide the mixture evenly between seven bowls. Using the food colouring, tint each bowl of mixture the colours of the rainbow (please see Notes for directions on food colouring).

In the first cake tin, pour in the red, yellow, pink and half of the green batter. Pour each directly into the centre of the tin to create layers.

Repeat with the second cake tin, beginning with the remaining green mixture and then the orange, purple and blue.

Bake for 20 minutes or until centre of cakes bounce back after being touched lightly. Remove from tins and cool on a wire rack until ready to frost.

Icing

With an electric mixer, beat the butter until it's pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the vanilla and icing mixture, half a cup at a time. Beat in the milk at the end until well incorporated.

To assemble, place the cake with the red bottom on a serving plate and spread 1/2 cup of icing over the top using a flat-bladed knife.

Place the second cake on top and cover the whole cake with the remaining icing.

  1. Step 1

    Fill a small jug with hot water. Place the cornflour in a bowl. Dip a melon baller in the hot water and use a tea towel to quickly dry. Use the melon baller to scoop out a ball of ice-cream. Place the ball in the cornflour and toss to coat. Use your hands to quickly roll the ball until smooth. Place the ball on a baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Repeat with the remaining cornflour and ice-cream to make 20 balls. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

  2. Step 2

    Place the chocolate melts in a small heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, on Medium/500watts/50% for 1 minute. Use a clean, dry metal spoon to stir the chocolate. Heat, uncovered, on Medium/500watts/50% for a further 1 minute or until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Use a fork to dip 1 ice-cream ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Place on a clean baking tray and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. Repeat with the remaining ice-cream balls, melted chocolate and hundreds and thousands. Place in an airtight container in the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.

Hey everyone! Just stumbled across a really cool, hassle-free recipe.

Gina's Flourless Chocolate Cake


Preheat oven to 180 С.

Spray a 23 cm springform pan with baking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper and spray again.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate and butter, constantly stirring until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl add the sugar and eggs. Using a handheld mixer beat together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. While mixing, slowly add cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, and brandy. Add the chocolate mixture and blend until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a thin crust forms on the top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with few crumbs attached. Remove and cool in the pan on a bakers rack. Remove the sides of the pan and dust with powdered sugar and arrange seasonal berries in a pleasing fashion on and around the cake. Slice and serve with Whipped Cream.

Whipped Cream:
With a hand-held mixer, beat the cream until peaks soft peaks form. Add the sugar and brandy and beat until well combined.
