For my eldest son's 4th birthday, he begged me to make a rainbow-colored birthday cake.

Not wanting to use any artificial colours, I was up for the challenge.

It actually turned out pretty good for an all-natural coloured cake.

Except, the colours weren't as vivid.

They were somewhat dull, but you could make out the different colours.

My son was so excited when I cut open the cake and revealed all the layers. He was just so happy!

For almost an entire year after, he kept reminding me to make another rainbow cake.

All-natural powders

When Suncore sent me their Supercolor powders, I just knew I needed to remake a rainbow cake, this time in the form of a mille crepe cake.

I won't lie, this cake does take some time to make as you have to make the batter ahead of time, divide and colour the batter, and then slave over the hot stove to make each layer. It's all in the name of love, right?

Well, my dear boy, I think I've done it -- albeit 2 years late.

Whimsical and colourful, this All-Natural Rainbow Mille Crepe Cake will be sure to turn heads.

Make it for a birthday party and watch the kids ooh and ahh.

Instructions

Make the crepes:

• Combine all the ingredients together in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Cover and let sit for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
• When ready to make the crepes, remove batter from fridge.
• Use a wooden spoon and stir the mixture.
• Divide the batter into 6 equal portions (about 100g each) in 6 individual bowls.
• Mix the corresponding Supercolor powders to colour each bowl individually from red to purple. Strain each coloured batter through a sieve before pouring into the frying pan.
• Heat up a small 5″ frying pan and grease with a little oil.
• Pour about 2 tablespoon of batter into 5″ frying pan.
• Let it cook over low heat, about 1-2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another minute.
• Remove to a wire rack to cool.
• Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Ensure crepes are completely cool before stacking upon each other.
• Note: Each coloured batter should produce about 4 x 5" crepes.

Make whipped cream:

• In a chilled bowl, add the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and whisk until stiff peaks.

To assemble:

• Starting with the purple crepes, lay one crepe on a plate and place 1 tablespoon of whipped cream on top.
• Smooth the surface with a spatula and lay another crepe on top.
• Repeat with the remainder of the crepes, moving through the colours.
• Place into the fridge to set for at least 4-6 hours before serving.
• Serve chilled.

Notes

Crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Place a piece of parchment paper in between the layers if freezing.
