Rainbow Layer Cake

Ingredients for Cake
• Vanilla cake mix (Couple of boxes)
• Water (Couple of cups)
• Eggs (Six)
• Food graded colors

Directions for Preparation
1. First of all heat the oven at 175C. Now take three round cake pans (8 inch) and spray them with cooking spray.
2. Take a bigger bowl and beat the eggs, cake mix, oil & water with the help of an electric mixer for 30 seconds at lower speed and then increase the speed to medium and beat for next couple of minutes (scrape the bowl occasionally). Now take 6 bowls and divide the batter uniformly over each one of them (1 1/3 cups each).
3. Now one by one tint all of the 6 batters in the bowls separately with food colors- red, green, yellow, blue, purple (red + blue) and orange (blue + red).
4. Take any 3 colored batters and place them in the refrigerator. Pour the remaining 3 colored batters in the cake pans.
5. Bake for next 18 to 20 minutes till the cake starts pulling away from the side of pan and springs back when touched gently at its center. Allow it to cool down for 10 minutes. Now remove them from the pans and place them over cooking racks to completely cool down.
6. Wash the cake pans. Now bake & cool the remaining 3 layers of cake like instructed.
7. Take a bigger bowl and beat butter & shortening with the help of an electric mixer at a medium speed till it turns light yellow in color. Now at low speed, beat the powdered sugar, then beat vanilla followed by adding milk gradually (one tablespoon at a time). Beat the mixture till the whole frosting becomes smooth and then beat at a high speed till it becomes fluffy & light.
