Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
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.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls.
-
Add a different food coloring to each bowl and mix well.
-
Spoon a spoonful of each colored batter into the center of each cake pan, creating concentric circles.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, stack them on top of each other, alternating the colors, to create a checkerboard pattern.
-
Frost the cake with your favorite frosting and decorate as desired.
-
Serve and enjoy!
