How psychedelic is this vegan tie dye cake?
You may have seen the trend of tie dying everything you can at the moment, that is what inspired this ridiculously tasty cake!
The icing on this cake is a toasted marshmallow flavour by sugar and crumbs.
This cake is super easy to make, a little time comsuming but easy. That makes this cake perfect for any beginner cake decorators or your kids if they would like to help make a cake.
This is a super fun cake for anyone who's really into tie dye or people call a "hippy"
Once you have made your cake mix you need to seperate it into seperate bowls and colour it.
You can use any colours you would like, but I think these colours went really well.
Prepare 2 x 20" cake tins and pour half of each colour into the center of the tray; one on top of the other.
You don't need to spread any of the colours as they will spread themselves.
You can leave this as it is or swirl the mix, gently, with a toothpick or knife to create a bit of a pattern. I left mine like this.
Once you've cooked your cakes you need to let them cool completely before decorating.
This gives you time to make the butter icing.
Butter icing is so easy to make! I used sugar and crumbs toasted marshmallow icing sugar.
You then combine that with the butter and vanilla essence to create a smooth and super tasty butter icing.
Once the cake is cooled you can put the cake together. If one of your cake layers is bigger than the other you can cut that one into two, this will give you three layers. This is what I did.
Put butter icing between each layer and place in the fridge to give the icing time to set. This helps keep the layers in place.
You can then make a crumb coat; this is a thin layer of icing around the hole cake. This locks the crumbs in place to stop them getting on your final decorations.
Place the cake in the fridge for a short time to let this set.
Make a thicker layer of icing over your cake and smooth it out. This is what you will paint onto so you want it to be as smooth as possible.
Use the same colours that you used in the cake to create lots of circles around each other, until there is no part of the cake not decorated.
Place this in the fridge to give the colours time to set.
Serve and enjoy!

Tie Dye Cake
Ingredients
Cake;
2 ⅔ Cups Self-Raising Flour
2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
2 Cups Milk
2-3 tsp Vanilla Essence
⅔ Cup Vegetable Oil
2 tbsp tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Food Colouring - red, orange, pink, yellow, blue & green
Butter Icing;
500g Toasted Marshmallow Icing Sugar - Sugar and Crumbs
220g Butter
1-2 tsp Vanilla Essence
Method
Cake;
Preheat the oven 180C and prepare 2 x 20” cake tins
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda.
Add the sugar and mix to combine.
Pour the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla and milk.
Mix until completely smooth.
Seperate the mix into 6 bowls, as evenly as possible.
Colour each bowl with your food colouring. You can make this as bright as you would like.
Pour half of each colour into the center of each of the cake tin. Please see the pictures. Pour one colour at a time into the middle of each colour.
Cover each tin with foil.
Bake for 20 minutes and if on separate levels of the oven, swap the tins over and bake for a further 20 minutes.
Let cool completely before decorating.
Butter Icing;
Place your butter in a large mixing bowl.
Sift the icing sugar into the same bowl.
Add your vanilla essence
Mix together to create a smooth butter icing.
If the mix feels too thick you can add a little milk
Decorating;
Once the cake has completely cooled you can begin to decorate.
If one cake is larger than the other you can cut that one in half, to make a third layer. This is what I did.
Place your bottom cake on your cake board.
Spread some of the butter icing over the top and add the second cake
Place this in the fridge for 10 -15 minutes to let the icing set a bit. This helps keep your layers in place.
Spread a thin layer of icing over the whole of your cake and smooth it out. This is called a crumb coat.
Place the cake in the fridge for 15-20 minutes
Spread a thicker layer of icing over the cake and smooth it out.
Place this in the fridge for a further 15-20 minutes
Using a paint brush and your 6 colours paint circles around the cake, whichever colours you would like.
Keep painting circles around each one until you have no space left on your cake
Place in the fridge until ready to serve
Serve
Enjoy!
