There is something undeniably festive about a Rainbow Cake. This steamed variety is as pretty as it is sweet, with a colorful appearance that comes from the way you layer the different batters in the pan before steaming them to a soft, fluffy finish. The recipe calls for corn oil, condensed milk, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla and self-rising flour. It makes for an enjoyable dessert on a birthday or at a family get together, or even just for tea time. And since you don’t need to fire up the oven, it is a cheerful homemade treat you can have any day of the week.
