25 June 2015 - Rainbow Pinata Minions Cake

My boy loved the idea of M&Ms in a cake after the Rainbow Pinata Frozen Cake I made for his sister last year.  So, in order not to disappoint him, I made a Rainbow Pinata Minions Cake for his 5th Birthday. 

I am using the rainbow cake recipe shared by Winny Lim.

Rainbow Cake 

Ingredients (for 1 layer)

1 egg yolk

5g caster sugar

15g corn oil

15g milk

17g cake flour (sifted)

15g caster sugar

Method

1. Beat the egg yolk, sugar, corn oil and milk in a bowl.
2. Add in flour and mix till smooth, followed by the coloring.
3. Beat the egg white, adding in sugar in 2-3 additions and beat till stiff peak.
4. Add 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture before adding the rest.
5. Pour into a 6 inch round mould.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degree for 15-20min.
7. When the skewer comes out clean, remove from oven and turn over to cool.
8. Remove from the mould and leave till fully cooled.
9. Repeat for the other 6 layers.

Hope he like the cake! 😉
