Instructions:

For the Rainbow Heart Cake.

Beat together the sugar, cooking oil, butter and vanilla extract for the rainbow heart cakes until light and fluffy.

Add in the eggs and again beat until combined.

Gradually combine in the flour and baking powder taking care not to work too much.

Separate this batter into 6 equal amounts and add in the food colouring to make 6 vidbrant colours, I chose red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

Place these six coloured batter mixes into 6 sandwich bags or piping bags.

Line a 38cm by 27cm baking tray with baking parchment and spray with baking spray.

Then alternate lines of each colour into the baking tray.

Repeat with the same colours on a second layer.

Bake in the oven at 170°C or 340°F for 14-16 mintues.

Flip out of the tray onto another sheet of baking parchment, remove the baking parchment from the bottom and then freeze for an hour.

Remove from the freezer and trim off the golden layer caused by the cooking to show the vibrant colours.

Then cut into heart shapes that fit inside your Bundt tin.

For the Chocolate Bundt Cake.

Melt together the cream and chocolate for the Bundt cake and set aside.

Beat together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, oil, water, eggs and butter for the bundt cake until light and fluffy.

Add in the ganache we made and again beat to combine.

Take a 25cm Bundt tin and spray with baking spray.

Add 200g of the chocolate batter to the bottom and spread out.

Bake in the oven at 170°C or 340°F for 10 mintues.

Spread a little more of the chocolate batter to the baked cake and then arrange the rainbow hearts in upside down.

Place the remaining chocolate batter in a piping bag and fill around the hearts being careful not to dislodge or leave air gaps.

Tap gently and flatten then bake in the oven at 170°C or 340°F for 40 mintues.

Allow to rest after removing from the oven for 15 minutes then remove from the bundt tin.

For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

Melt together the cream and the chocolate for the ganache topping and nap over the top oof the cake

*Different food colours require differing amounts so work it based on your eye.
