Recipe's preparation
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place sugar into Thermomix and blitz on speed 6 for 20 seconds.
- Insert cubed butter and set Thermomix for 3 minutes at speed 3. Scrap down sides of the bowl and process for a furtherminute on speed 3.
- Keep the Thermomix running, add the eggs one at a time, allow approximately 20 seconds between additions to incorporate the eggs into the batter. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after the last egg is added to the mixture and incorporate for 20 seconds. Process for a further 1 minute. Don't worry if it looks curdled at this time, it will come back together.
- Weigh the mixture and divide evenly into 6 portions. Dye one portion each Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Pink.
- Place cake batter into separate 20cm round cake tins and cook for 15 minutes in your per-heated oven, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Insert sugar and blitz on speed 10 until fine.
- Insert butterfly. Place all remaining ingredients into the Thermomix. Select temperature 70, speed 4 for 5 minutes. If icing remains grainy, continue mixing for another 1 - 2 minutes. The icing should be white and glossy and have firm peaks.
- Place cream into Thermomix. Insert butterfly and turn to speed 4. Watch the cream until it gets to the desired whipped cream consistency (it should be firm or stiff peaks) - approximately 30 - 45 seconds.
- Clean out bowl (wash, clean and dry).
- Place the jam into the Thermomix set to speed 2, reverse speed"Counter-clockwise operation" , temperature 50 for 1 minute. Keep watch as you are just looking to melt the jam so that it can be easily spread onto the cakes.
- Now for the fun part!Select your serving plate / cake stand, place a small dollop of icing in the centre of the plate/stand.
At this point, if your cakes are a little uneven (like mine generally are!) clean and level them up to create flat layers. - Place the blue layer cake on top of the dollop of icing. Spread a thin layer of jam onto the cake, on top of this place a reasonable layer of cream onto the cake (approximately 0.5cm in height). Do not spread the cream out to the edge, keep it 1 - 1 1/2 cm inside the outer edge. As you place the next layer on top a slightly press down the cream will spread to the edges.
- Repeat this process with the Green, Yellow, Orange and Pink layers of the cake.
- Place a layer of icing on top of the cake, slowly dollop and spread the icing around the outside of the cake. You can either go for the rustic look keeping little peaks and troughs all over the cake or create a completely smooth surface - the choice is yours!
- Sprinkle the top and sides of the cake with 100's and 1000's.

Tip
I have tried this with only 2 layers of whipped cream, we all agreed it needed all layers to have whipped cream!
Note for Step 6: This batter generally weigh 1.5kgs, and can be divided into 6 equal portions of 250grams each.
Tip for the Meringue Icing: Best to do this in a cool environment! Trial and error has seen it not turn out well in a humid or warm environment (cake fail for a naming day!). It is a very sweet icing, alternatives which would be just as yum: whipped cream, buttercream icing and / or ganache. Pick the one you like best and give it a try .

Gave this a try but my cake didn't rise at all so the layers turned out very flat. I followed the recipe so I have no idea what went wrong

Followed the recipe to a T and got flat uneven chewy pancakes I suspect the flour gets overworked and possibly needs the addition of the butterfly attachment when doing the butter and sugar

Great recipe! Made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and came out great! I opted for 5 layers but the cake was still pretty tall! Used buttercream icing instead, as was a bit pressed for time and iced it straight away. Jame and cream in between each layer a must!
Second try no betterWhat a flop... twice!...
Definitely not a fool proof recipe...
I have made it twice today and all 12 cakes ended not rising!
Flat as pancakes, tasted like uncooked flour... I'm totally gutted and super stressed that I don't have a cake for my girl's birthday...
I am not inexperienced neither an expert but usually my cakes turn out well so I really don't know what went wrong...
I was quite surprised at the amount of mixing of the dough and the speed...
Generally once the flour is added you shouldn't mix too long and too fast (20s speed 4 seems to be the norm with cakes)... the recipe calls for minutes at speed 6 and I wonder if the dough was overworked...
Anyway, a one star from me cause you can't put 0 star!
I would definitely recommend you to try it out before going for the full recipe, just to make sure it works out for you... as others have posted this recipe seems to be a make or break!

Absolutely magnificent. Easy to make. I used the Wilton Butter cream instead as a friend was decorating it with fondant but I had so many compliments as to the texture and taste of the cake. Most people wanted to know where I bought it!

Made this today! Super yummy!
I know some things go without saying but some things in this recipe were not clear, like cleaning out the thermomix before adding the jam
Or cutting around each layer of cake to level it
Since I am not really a cake maker these little things would have really helped.
Otherwise everything else was awesome! We really loved this cake.
Loved this cake. Very easy to make. Thank you,

Even though my layers rose a bit uneven, the cake looked sensational! I will make it next time as a colourful swirl cake instead of layers, makes a very big mix.

This recipe is perfect.!
This recipe is perfect.! Beautiful light texture. My daughter has been nagging me to make a rainbow cake but with just us two at home atm a full cake would be too much so we halved the recipe and made marbled rainbow cupcakes (the batter made 12 perfect cupcakes) which I'll freeze for school treats. She was so excited to break it open and see the colours.!! I used natural colours the creative cake decorating brand and they turned out vibrant. Great recipe thanks!

Hi Taggie

Very easy to make. i used a 23cm tin which made the layers a bit too thin so will defiantly use 20cm next time. I didn't do the frosting as I wanted to use chocolate ganache as im making a rock climbing cake for my sons birthday. Can't wait to eat it.

I halved recipe and had only 3 layers. Turned out fantastic. Won't put jam in again, not needed for our tastebuds.
Awesome cake recipe. Time
Awesome cake recipe. Time consuming for me as I only had 1 cake tin the right size so each colour had to be baked seperately! I had a major flop with the meringue... I ended up with meringue sludge!! One part of me said to do it the way I know, and the other part said "she'll be right, just follow the recipe. I had no time to re-do and didn't want to waste the eggs. So I just stuck it on and hopped for the best. At the end of the day no one cared, the cake was cut and everyone forgot about the outside!
