Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: measure out the flour and sugar. Allow the butter to soften at room temperature.
2
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3
Sift the gluten-free flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla extract and milk. Mix until smooth.
4
Divide the batter into three equal portions and color each with a different shade of food coloring to achieve the ombre effect.
5
Pour the first layer of batter into a greased and parchment-lined cake pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes. Repeat with the remaining colored layers.
6
While the cake layers are cooling, prepare the frosting: whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar.
7
Layer the cooled cake layers, spreading each layer with the mascarpone cream frosting. Ensure the frosting is evenly distributed.
8
Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining cream. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
9
Before serving, decorate the cake with food coloring, edible flowers, or sugar pearls, if desired.
