Ingredients

Scale

2 ¾ cups cake flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour six round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients with milk until combined. Divide batter into six bowls; color each with food coloring.
Pour each colored batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool layers completely on wire racks before stacking them with frosting in between.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Chill cake layers before frosting to make assembly easier.
Use gel food coloring for brighter colors without altering batter consistency.
Consider pairing with cream cheese or buttercream frosting for added flavor.
