Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• as needed Food coloring (assorted colors)
• 2 cup Whipped cream
• as needed Assorted sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Divide the batter equally into three bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until well combined.
6. Pour each colored batter into a separate cake pan. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and whipped cream.
10. Decorate the top of the cake with assorted sprinkles.
11. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
12. Slice and enjoy!
