Hi Dani! Thank you so much for the video, I made this cake (following your instructions except the amount of the sugar) and it's wonderful!:))

[@danielavalentin2608]

Awesome video! She’s lovely!!!

[@scoopearly]

Also PSA if you live in the US, its 165 Celcius for the temperature- about 330 Farenheit :) I set it to 165F and was very confused at first why my cake wasn't done at first lol!

[@danibakesvida9471]

perfect! :) thank you for the note

[@danibakesvida9471]

hehe all ovens are different :)

[@anniemazz2266]

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I'm a complete novice vegan baker and made this for my daughter's birthday (which is today!) It worked perfectly and she loves it.....I added the twist Bosh did with sweets in the middle too.... delicious and easy to follow 🎂🌈😁

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi Anne! so glad! yes! the one we made the video with bosh! so much fun! you can decorate it and add as much fun as you would like! :)

[@stephaniedeklerk5754]

I'm not vegan but this is always good to have for my customers who are.

[@simonjohnson4704]

Thanks for this recipe. I made this for my sons 3rd birthday last year and I’m currently making it again for his 4th because he said he wants rainbow again :) Trying fan off this time to see if I can get less browning on the edges but other than that it was perfect last year :)

[@simonjohnson4704]

I ended up baking for 165 Celsius with the fan off for 40 minutes and the cakes look INCREDIBLE. Very light and spongy with no browning on the top or sides. Just super vibrant colours. :)

[@martalesina336]

Hi Dani! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe of your amazing cake (I tested it at your shop and it's so so delicious), Would you mind converting the cups to grams for the flour? I really want to make it and get it right! Thank you again xx

[@aeve8]

Hi Dani, what is the brand of food colouring you use? Thanks!

[@nimertavirdee9615]

Hi Dani, your video is excellent and very clear. Gave it a go but the cake collapsed on itself, I have a rainbow explosion! What could have gone wrong here?

[@deniseluong1085]

Hi Dani , I have been watching your video . Love it . Only one question , Can you use Self - raising flour instead of plain flour in your vegan rainbow recipe . Thank you .

[@donnabuckley8526]

Hi! I have the ingredients and am going to attempt this tomorrow! I'm just using regular plain flour. Please can you tell me do I still need bicarbonate of soda and baking powder? Am I right that I don't need thr xantham gum with regular flour ? Thank you!!

[@lilibethgomez2577]

Gracias por la receta, me puedes ayudar para sustituir la leche de soya? Una que se le parezca más?

[@taniabains9882]

Hi I wanted to make a rainbow cake in 22cm tins. Would this recipe and Measurements be okay for that size or would I need to add extra ingredients please help. Also I attempted to make a cake to try my new colour sugar flair and my colour didn’t come as as perfect as your bakes comes out more brown could you help with this is it reacting to the vinegar

[@soniazt]

Thanks for the recipe. I can’t seem to find the temperature and oven time for the cakes (?) . I saw temp somewhere 165celsius, but for how long, with vent or not (?)

[@aliciahanneke]

I might just have to go to your shop sometime this week! It's only down the road from me!

[@danibakesvida9471]

yes please! come :)

[@annashpook9904]

Hi! Where can I find the recipe (amount of ingredients) and what oven temp you set it for? Thank you!

[@eviemurphy1274]

Hey, I know you said you are using 8" cake tins, but just wondering the depth of the ones you are using please. Thanks

[@Carlybenbo]

Hi Dani! Can I ask what food colouring brand you use. Don’t like the colours from the brand I bought today. :-)

[@renataplohotniuc4054]

How many ml cup?

[@arundatiguptajacob7585]

Hi Dani- thank you for the excellent recipe. Quick question, don’t we need to put parchment paper or grease the baking pan pls?

[@danibakesvida9471]

hi dear! that will depend on your tins! ours are non stick! but maybe it will be best to do so! so all your hard work pays off :)

[@sweetmistry9475]

This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. Like many people, not everyone has 6 8" pans, what would you suggest, in terms of baking? Splitting recipe? Also, you said if you are ok with gluten, you can go ahead and use self-raising flour, however the recipe says plain flour, which is correct?

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi darling! yes! split the recipe in two and bake 3 colours first and once they are completely cooled down remove the cakes from the tins and do the other 3! let me know how it goes! :)

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi dear, yes! divide the recipe in half :) plain flour is preferable so you can control the raising agents

[@dilmang]

How much are you taking ingredients??

[@SpiceMelts]

Such pretty cakes... Which gluten free flour did you use? Any recommendations for a good GF flour or combination of it?

[@kimkbmb9906]

Rice flour is the best one!

[@ellielee4673]

Hi Dani, this looks great. Does it work with Almond milk?

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi dear! yes! any plant based milk! it might just affect the taste a bit :)

[@hasibfarsi4966]

thank you very much for your well explaining, but it was better if you were including the decorating in this video as well.

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi Hash, wonderful! there are many cake decorating videos now in the channel! :)

[@hasibfarsi4966]

@@danibakesvida9471 thank you

[@danibakesvida9471]

wonderful! so glad :)

[@EllenSails]

Does anyone have the steps written out, not just the ingredients list? Thank you.

[@juliataylor7585]

Hi Dani, am I missing something- I can't find the recipe I don't know the quantities to make this cake? I would really like to make this for my daughter's birthday. Thanks in advance!

[@vs-cr9lv]

It's in the comments section above

[@Erixandros]

It looks great :-) Do you think I could use lemon juice instead of vinegar?

[@vidabakery6791]

YES! :) you just need some kind of acidity xx

[@danibakesvida9471]

100%

[@lauragrandt8265]

Can someone please post recipe link? The video doesn't mention quantities. I really wanted to make it tonight Ty!

[@danibakesvida9471]

recipe is in the description box :)

[@heatherduthie704]

Do you grease your tins please? Xx

[@danibakesvida9471]

We dont as our tins are non-stick, that will depend on yours :)

[@eduardochavacano]

i guess lots of Lesbians are vegans. That is why this sells. Beautiful Cake. I wish it can make be made without a mixer.

[@Nancy-he5ij]

Is there a specific brand of food colouring you recommend?

[@danibakesvida9471]

wilton brand is my favourite! you can get the small tubes on amazon! :)

[@hollyposluszny337]

My food colouring didn't even show up once it was cooked

[@danibakesvida9471]

I really like wilton, but any will do :) just double check ingredients in case of allergies

[@terevoshki]

@@danibakesvida9471 hola Dani, I really want to try to but don't have that many tins at once so I'd like to halve the recipe. Do you have ingredient proportions for half the recipe? I realise with things like baking soda it's not just a matter of splitting by 2... right? Thank you!

[@terevoshki]

@@danibakesvida9471 sorry another question! I am looking for Wilton brand but most say icing colouring. Is that still OK? And I can't find any mention of vegan, do you know if their whole line is vegan? Thx!

[@hadenadkin9794]

Hi Dani I'm a bit confused as some of your ingredients doesnt match what you say or do in your videos. Because of this nothing comes out right and it's not cheap buying all the ingredients then making them according to your description ingredients and it just doesnt come out right. Can you help with this?

[@danibakesvida9471]

it is all correct :) please watch again

[@youtubecreators8]

Mi servirebbe la stessa ricetta ma con i grammi

[@alyradia]

hi - i made your vanilla cake recipe and the batter was super runny. what did i do wrong?

[@danibakesvida9471]

Hi Alysha, are you sure you added the raising agents and the sugar? that happens when we forget to add something! let me know :)

[@alyradia]

@@danibakesvida9471 i didnt have baking soda only baking powder so added double baking powder - could that have been it?

[@nataliecanini9615]

Where can i get the recipe?

[@danibakesvida9471]

in the description box :)

[@BordercollieTed]

So I've gone completely by the word and mine is really thick...

[@zainabalhussaini6902]

Aisha Grover how did it turn out after baking it? Mine was thick too... not sure what went wrong

[@BordercollieTed]

I ended up adding loads more milk and oil but couldn't seem to rescue it. Went with a different recipe in the end x

[@reshmamohindra4271]

I had the same problem. The batter never got to pouring consistency. Each layer came out looking like an uneven cookie and the top layer of most separated out due to gigantic bubbles.

[@alyradia]

i had the opposite problem and mine is really thin!! help lol

[@EllenSails]

First time I made at full recipe amounts the consistency was spot on to hers, but the cakes were a bit dense, didn’t cook in the middle enough or rise enough, while overdone on the outside. Taste was fine. Second time I cut amounts exactly in half to make cupcakes but batter was runny so I added appx 1/4c more flour without adjusting any other ingredients, and the batter looked the right consistency but again, didn’t rise enough or bake enough in the middle. I might try one more time with increasing raising agents but need to research that first, as ingredients are so expensive.

[@hollyposluszny337]

So it doesn't specify if your meant to use both soda and powder so a beginner like me puts both in and it makes the cake disgusting

[@danibakesvida9471]

yes! both :) if you put the right amount it tastes very nice

[@danibakesvida9471]

the recipe description is very clear :)

[@eduardochavacano]

who would use turmeric to make a cake yellow? No one.
