  • Erin Jeanne McDowell takes on the challenge of creating an epic rainbow cake. Most rainbow cakes call for coloring the individual layers of cake batter, but here, the frosting is tinted, creating an impressive rainbow inside each slice. Eat the rainbow with one slice of rainbow cake at a time. Get the recipe: nyti.ms/2JPcE4r

    Watching Erin make this was so fun that I couldn't resist making it (MORE ERIN VIDEOS PLEASE!!) And since it's Pride month I took it to our monthly men's social. It was a huge hit, not only for the beauty of the cake (everyone was taking photos of it) but it's really delicious too. In spite of all that frosting it's not overly sweet. I did the ombre frosting but didn't have a cake frosting spatula long enough to get all of the layers in one go so I grabbed a wooden stir stick that you get with a gallon of paint. (yes, it was unused). It worked perfectly. This is not a super quick baking project (I baked the layers one day and assembled it the next day) but it is easy and the process is a lot of fun!

      @@ericpmoss I know what it is... you can also just drink oat milk, soy milk (which I don't recommend), coconut milk, almond milk, or Lactaid. Which is a brand that carries cows milk without the harmful protein. Companies like fairlife severely abuse the animals. Most times to the point of death. The babies are then thrown in a plastic cage in the sweltering heat. They get burned with metal rods for branding, and their heads bashed in if they don't eat. The moms get their utters sliced open so the farmers can collect the milk a lot faster. They lose their voices crying out for their children every day. The babies are then transported to resturants for veal. Aka fresh baby cow. Which fair life has denied these allegations. A man had gone undercover and exposed them. Proving what fair life owners have said, is 100% false. You should watch a documentary on it. It really is horrible. No, I'm not vegan. I'm just a careful consumer.

    Thanks so much for the yolk enzyme tip. I always thought my meringue was breaking down and be coming gloppy, obviously it was the yolk enzyme. This is a pie that has 1/2 cup of lemon or lime juice, 4 yolk and condensed milk and then is baked just long enough to brown the meringue. However, I make a chocolate silk pie with 3 whole eggs, butter, sugar and cocoa that is never baked. It is only chilled and it never breaks down. What am I missing.

    5:13 enzymes are never alive. They are just catalyst that help break down stuff. What happens when you cook it is you denature it. So it takes on a different shape so it can't catalyze the breakdown of things anymore.

      Glad to see this comment, i was gonna leave one myself if it wasnt here. Stuff at the cellular level is hard to talk about, and saying inactive/dead portrays roughly the same idea. But yeah, enzymes are just special proteins, and heating unfolds them so they cant do their thing anymore (in her words, are dead). Love the video and putting science in the kitchen!
