Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- assorted food colors
- 1 3/4 cups white chocolate

Instructions
- Mix the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the egg, salt, and vanilla extract. Next, add the flour, baking powder, and milk, mixing well until you have achieved a smooth consistency.
- Separate the batter into five small mixing bowls and add a drop or two of food coloring to each.
- Pour each color batter into a cupcake form and bake at 350 °F for 15 minutes.
- Add the white chocolate and whipping cream to a small mixing bowl and melt in the microwave.
- Crumble the cupcakes into bowls and add a small amount of the melted chocolate. Take a large pinch of each color cake and place one on top of the other in rainbow order. Wrap with cling wrap and shape into a ball. If you want professional quality balls each time, you can use a cakepop mold.
- Remove the cake balls from the wrap or mold and freeze for 20 minutes to firm.
