PREP CAKE BATTER Preheat the oven at 180°C.Combine the Malai and sugar lemon juice and curd in a bowl and whisk well.Keep aside.
Combine the plain flour, baking powder and baking soda and sieve 2-3 times and keep aside.
Add the milk and milk powder and maida mixture to the malai gradually and keep stirring
Gradually and alternatively finish the mixture and keep stirring.
The mixture should be of the pouring consistency.Now add the vanilla essence and lightly stir again once and used a ladle to separate it as evenly as possible into six bowls. (There will be six layers to the cake, hence the six bowls.) GET YOUR COLOR ON! I used my gel colors to dye each bowl to my desired color. Add food coloring to each bowl to create a vibrant red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
BAKE IT UP! I greased two 6″ heart-shaped baking pans.Pour each colored batter into the prepared pans and spread out into an even layer. (layers will be thin)
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until center is set. Repeat the same process with rest of the batter and bake all 6 layers.Allow the cake pans to cool a little bit and then wash them. Bake and cool remaining 3 cake layers.
Remove from oven and let cakes cool in the pan until pans are warm enough to touch. Run a spatula around the edges of the pans to loosen the cake and then very carefully remove the cakes from the pans.Place on a cooling rack and cool completely.
FROSTING WITH WHIPPED CREAM Put a little of the cream cheese frosting on the plate or cake stand you’ll be using to adhere the first layer of cake. Pop it onto the centre of the plate, and then frost and put on the next layer.
Place the violet layer down first and frost.Followed by the blue layer, green layer, yellow layer, orange layer and finally the red layer. (Frost between each layer).
Place a thin coat of the icing on the cake to create a crumb coat. This will make the cake even all around and seal any loose crumbs.
Once the crumb coat is set, finish frosting the cake.
GANACHE MAKING AND CAKE DECORATION
Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl; set aside.
Place cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
Pour over chocolate and let stand until chocolate has softened about 5 minutes.
Add butter and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly before using.Divide ganache between 6 bowls.
Color each bowl of ganache using candy coloring creating a purple, blue, green, red, yellow and orange.
Start at one end of the cake and pour a spoonful of purple ganache over the top edge allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake.
Next, to the purple add a spoonful of blue, then green, yellow, orange, red, If desired, swirl the colors on the top of the cake.
If the ganache becomes too thick, heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to thin it out. Finish cake border with whipped cream frosting and silver lace.
