How to Make Rainbow Oreo Cheesecake Drip Cake

Although this cake may look complex, it is actually quite simple to make! By breaking it down into steps, you can easily create this colorful masterpiece.

1. Bake the Rainbow Cake Layers

The key to making this cake stand out is its vibrant, rainbow-colored cake layers.

Begin by preparing the cake batter and dividing it into six bowls.
Add a different food coloring to each bowl (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) to create the rainbow layers.
Pour the batter into individual cake pans and bake each layer until cooked through.
Allow the layers to cool completely before stacking.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a prepared springform pan and bake the cheesecake layer until set.
Let it cool completely and refrigerate to firm up.

3. Assemble the Cake

Once your cake layers and cheesecake are ready, it’s time to assemble.
Start by placing one rainbow cake layer on a cake board and spread a generous layer of buttercream on top.
Add the cheesecake layer in the middle and continue layering with buttercream and rainbow cake layers.
Smooth the buttercream frosting over the entire cake and refrigerate to set.

4. Drip Chocolate Ganache and Decorate

Prepare the chocolate ganache by melting chocolate with heavy cream until smooth and shiny.
Let the ganache cool slightly before dripping it over the edges of the cake.
Top the cake with swirls of buttercream, Oreos, sprinkles, and more for that signature rainbow Oreo cheesecake look.
