My good friend Maike turned 22 this past weekend and threw a potluck birthday party at her apartment. I've been on a major baking spree lately, and decided to endeavour to make this impressive-looking rainbow cake that I'd seen on a few food blogs. I was really thrilled with the end product, and thought I might toot my own horn and share some pictures with y'all.

| The cake is just a basic vanilla pound cake recipe. |
 |
| I divided the batter into separate, equal portions and dyed each bowl of batter a different colour using food colouring. |
 |
| Each bowl of batter had to baked separately, although I have seen other food bloggers pour each bowl of coloured batter one on top of the other to make a marbled rainbow cake. This also looks pretty cool. |
 |
| I layered the slabs of cake, putting vanilla buttercream icing in the middle. |
 |
| The final product! I covered the rest of the cake in undyed buttercream icing, then used my icing piping bag to add a little pizazz! |
 |
| I was really, really excited for Maike to cut into the cake. I think the best part of making this cake is the reaction you get from the person who cuts it open. |
 |
| I think it looks so beautiful!! |
