The world feels very serious and very scary right now so it's more important than ever to remember the value in being FUN and being SILLY and being SWEET. Presenting: The wonky-whimsical-rainbow-loaf-cake! It hits all of those buttons. Ya'll are probably definitely thinking, but how did you get it shaped like a rainbow!? Well I have been fortunate enough to inherit many a random vintage baking supply from various family members and friends. I'm always so stoked when people want to give me their old or vintage baking supplies... a lot of the time they have something that they inherited and they have no idea what it should be used for! I love the fun challenge in figuring out what it was for, but also how I can use it, and maybe even use it in a different or creative way. I have a thing for strange shaped cake pans and so I am proud to be the owner of a ridged, u-shaped loaf pan. After a recent and unrelated google image search I have also seen this shape of pan being used as a mould for jell-o! So perhaps that is what it's original purpose is! But I love using it to bake loaf cakes in... especially because it's got those little ridges which make excellent markings for where to slice :) Of course, if you don't have a rainbow shaped pan, you can and should still bake this sweet little cake! Because not only does it look fun, it tastes lovely. It's a slightly but not overly sweet lemony-vanilla loaf that makes a great little snacking cake. You could layer the colours into a regular loaf pan, or into muffin tins, or make a cake... you get the idea just use whatever pan you fancy! And if rainbow is a few too many colours, just pick a few of your favourite colours and gently swirl them in the pan to make a whimsical marbled cake. The main point here is to get baking and have FUN. Rainbow Loafrecipe adapted from Food Network Magazine
