This cake is,in fact, a cake made up of six disks of sponge cake, placed one on top of the other, giving off a rainbow of pure colors. The form, more simple and original than the rest of cakes takes its name from the effect created by its appearance: thanks to the 6 different colors that merge one into another form a rainbow on this type of cake.

My son loves to create their own layered cakes for a special occasion. What I like about these is that the individual layers don't taste like that much sugar has been added, but they are still super tasty.
