  3. 3 Evenly divide batter among 6 small bowls; tint each batch a different color, using enough food coloring paste to reach desired tone, colors will deepen and brighten when baked.
  4. 4 Spoon red batter into bottom of the prepared pan and smooth using an offset spatula to evenly distribute. Carefully spoon purple batter on top and spread with spatula, pressing batter thinner near the inner edge and thicker at the outer edge of the pan to create an arc effect. Repeat with blue, green, yellow, and orange batters. Gently tap the pan on the counter 3 times to allow batter to settle.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean and top is just starting to brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Be careful not to overbake.
  6. 6 Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn cake out onto a serving plate; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  7. 7 Drizzle or spread frosting over cooled cake; decorate with rainbow sprinkles.
