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. Mix with 3/4 cups of heavy cream, milk, and coconut powder. Divide the batter into 6 parts to obtain 6 colors. Mix in one part the blue dye, in another the red dye, in another the yellow. 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 350 F for 10 minutes. Turn out and repeat with the second color and so on.

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.
