RAINBOW CAKE CHOCOLATE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with cooking parchment paper.
• In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 6 minutes. Add cake mix, sour cream, water and oil. Beat on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 1 minute.
• Divide batter into 6 small bowls, about 3/4 cup batter per bowl. Add red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple gel food colors, one to each bowl; mix. Pour each colored batter into a decorating bag or resealable food-storage plastic bag, and cut one corner off each bag. For better control with cake batter, be sure to cut small opening on end of each resealable bag.
• Starting with purple batter, carefully squeeze a thin diagonal line of colored batter onto each pan; repeating with blue, green, yellow, orange and red to make a rainbow-striped pattern. Continue until all batter has been used and pans are equally filled. It's ok to leave small spaces in between colors, as batter will fill in during baking.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Meanwhile, sprinkle powdered sugar over two clean kitchen towels. Remove cakes from oven. Run metal spatula around edges of pans; carefully turn one on to each kitchen towel. Peel away parchment paper. Immediately roll up cake and towel from narrow end. Allow cakes to cool 30 minutes.
• In medium bowl, mix frosting and whipped topping. Mix in Betty Crocker™ Candy Shop decors rainbow chips, if desired.
• Carefully unroll cakes; spread half of the filling over each cake. Roll cakes up into logs; refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
• Cut into slices to serve. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line 3 x 20cm sponge tins. Melt the butter and chocolate carefully together, then pour into the bowl of a mixer and cool for 10 minutes. Don’t worry if it separates when it cools.
• Beat the butter and chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes and then beat in the eggs one by one, alternating them with batches of sugar. Add the vanilla, the flour and baking powder and beat on low to make a smooth batter. Divide the mixture between the sponge tins and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges come away from the sides of the tin and a skewer comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook the cake or it will go very brown as there is a lot of sugar in it. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
• To make the frosting, whisk the flour into the milk over a medium heat and whisk until the mixture thickens. Stir in the chocolate and vanilla and cool. Beat the butter and sugar together until they’re light and fluffy, then beat in the chocolate mix until you have a light, fluffy mixture. Layer the cakes up with some of the frosting and then frost the outside. Decorate by grating over some more white chocolate.
