Save the last bite

My Birthday Rainbow Cake


I turned 33 last week. Nobody was there to make my cake so I had to do it alone.
I like diferent colours so it was clear to make a rainbow cake. When I was a child
my mom used to make it but she was in India and came back right at my birthday.
She also use to call it Easter cake or parrot cake. Funny because she celebrate her
birthday only one week earlier just in India :). Ok! Let's do it.

This cake has some eggs in it. So for all no egg eaters just replace it.

Ingredients:
300 g soft butter
270 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt
5 eggs
375 g all pourpose flour
1 package baking powder
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp extra caster sugar
1 tbsp extra milk
4 extra different food colors
powdered sugar
(or melted chocolate)for garnishing
