Multicolor Whipped Cream Cake

I can present to you a delicious recipe for a cake decorated with colored whipped cream that will surely be a real spectacle to see and taste! Remember, to achieve the different colors of whipped cream, you’ll need to separate it into various containers and dye it with food coloring of your choice.

Ingredients

• 200 g of sugar
• 200 g of all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• Vanilla flavoring (to taste, optional)
• 500 ml of whipping cream
• Gel or powder food coloring (colors of your choice)
• Powdered sugar, for decorating (optional)

Preparation

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 180 °C (356 °F) and greasing a round cake tin with butter and lightly flouring it.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, and vanilla flavoring, continuing to gently stir to prevent the mixture from deflating.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
5. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding with the decoration.
6. In the meantime, whip the very cold whipping cream until it becomes firm and swollen.
7. Divide the whipped cream into as many bowls as the colors you want to use. Add the food coloring to each bowl and mix well until the desired hue is achieved.
8. Place the colored whipped cream into piping bags with different nozzle shapes to create various decorative effects.
9. Decorate the cooled cake with the whipped cream, alternating colors and creating patterns as desired.
10. If you wish, lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.
