For the cake: Beat the sugar with the eggs until they are white. Mix in the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

For the last three colors, add blue and yellow for green, yellow and red for orange, blue and red for purple. Pour the first color into a mold. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes. Turn out and repeat with the second color and so on.

For the white chocolate ganache: Blend the mascarpone with the melted white chocolate in a food processor until the mixture holds together well. Spread a layer of ganache between each cake layer, stacking them in the order of the colors of the rainbow. Let the cake rest in the refrigerator while you make the whipped cream.
