Ingredients:
--------------
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup milk
* Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)
Instructions:
-----------------
### Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter and flour.
### Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
### Step 3: Cream the butter and sugar.
In a large bowl, cream 1/3 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
### Step 4: Divide the batter into separate bowls.
Divide the creamed mixture into six equal portions. Add food coloring to each portion, as follows: red for the base layer, orange for the middle layer, and yellow for the top layer. Mix well until you achieve your desired colors.
### Step 5: Layer the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, starting with the base layer (red). Then add a layer of orange batter on top. Repeat this process, alternating the colors until you have used all six portions of batter. Be sure to leave a little space at the top for frosting.
### Step 6: Bake the cake.
Bake the end-of-the-rainbow cake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
### Step 7: Cool the cake and frost it.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. When ready to decorate, use your favorite frosting recipe and apply it to the top of the cake. You can also add some fresh fruit or sprinkles for extra flavor and flair.
### Step 8: Serve and enjoy!
After all that hard work, it's finally time to enjoy your beautiful end-of-the-rainbow cake. Slice it up and serve with a smile on your face. Your friends and family will be amazed by this stunning dessert!
