Ingredients
    For the Cake:
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Food coloring (variety of colors)
  • For the Frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment paper for easy release.
    2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
    4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
    5. Combine Wet and Dry: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    6. Divide and Color: Divide the batter evenly among bowls (one for each color). Add food coloring to each bowl and mix until vibrant.
    7. Bake: Pour the colored batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
    8. Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
    9. Assemble Cake: Layer the cakes with frosting in between. Frost the outside and decorate as desired.
