colorful cake recipe

A delicious raspberry vanilla cake with a colorful and shaggy exterior.

Shag Cake

all-purpose flour (213 grams)

sugar (190 grams)

tsp baking soda

tsp baking powder

butter (190 grams, unsalted, room temperature, 170 grams)

tbsp vanilla extract

vanilla bean paste

sour cream (120 milliliters)

heavy cream (120 milliliters)

raspberries (fresh)

lemon

lbs confectioners sugar (1300 grams)

butter (681 grams, unsalted, room temperature,)

heavy cream

rose water (optional)

multiple food colorings

Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. Butter and flour three 6-inch pans. I use cake strips on my pans for more even baking as well.

Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Beat the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add lemon zest.

Add the wet to the dry and mix until just combined. Fold in fresh raspberries at the very end and mix until just combined.

Divide the mixture evenly into the cake pans.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch.

For the Cake:

Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar. Beat until smooth.&nbsp;

Add vanilla, rose water and cream. Beat until combined.&nbsp;

Save some white buttercream. Add food coloring to create blue and teal&gt; transfer to piping bags.&nbsp;

Get out 6-8 bowls. Add about 1 cup of buttercream to each.

Leave one bowl white.

Use food coloring to dye each bowl a different color.

Transfer all smaller batches to piping bags fitted with a grass tips.

For the Vanilla Buttercream:

Pipe rings of buttercream between the cake layers.

Cover the cake with a thin, crumb coat and chill for a few minutes.

Using a large grass tip to pipe patches of each color to create a design. You can really use whatever pattern you'd like just try to not repeat the colors in the same section to much and keep the patches of color on the smaller side.&nbsp;

For the Assembly:

I love this cake so much! I got the idea from a baker in Los Angeles named Alana Jones-Mann who makes these quirky shag rug cakes. The technique is so easy that I just had to make a video showing you how to make one. I used my ultra moist raspberry cake recipe for the layers. Link for that recipe is below and theres also a video showing you the step-by-step on my channel. If you have any questions hit me up in the comments!
