Rainbow Cake Recipe

Hi dear readers,

Today I'm going to share with you a rainbow cake recipe. To be honest I got this recipe from a good friend. Her name is Daphne. Thanks a lot to her for the recipe and tips. She is really nice and generous enough to share the recipe with me and she has given me green light to share this recipe. Kan Daphne?..hehe :P

I was actually fell to sick for almost more than 2 weeks. I got this recipe but I couldn't proceed myself to bake it. But Praise to GOD, i managed to bake a rainbow cake for the 1st time on last Friday. I can't believe it was a success. I overjoyed and hubby really amazed with the end result too! haha.. Baking is really a THERAPY for me hehehe.. :P

Since lots of friends requested for the recipe, i'll share it here. So, take a look and read them one by one. The procedure might confusing and might looks hard for you, but it's not that really hard. I'll always mention to those who're asking the same question, "susah mau buat ni kan?..macam susah ni.." If you had a big sized oven, it would be very easy for you!.. Yes, it is true! You don't have to bake the layer one by one, it would be easy to bake them all in one go, isn't it?..hehe!

By the way, I modified a lil' bit the recipe though so that it'll be easy for you to follow. Okay here's the recipe. :)
