Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
  5. Divide the batter equally into six bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl and mix until desired color intensity is achieved.
  6. Spoon the colored batters into the prepared cake pans, creating layers of different colors.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost the cake layers with buttercream frosting and decorate as desired.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
