Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Red gel food coloring
Blue gel food coloring

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in vanilla.
Gradually add dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing until just combined.
Divide batter into three bowls: leave one plain, color one red, and one blue.
Layer spoonfuls of each batter into prepared pans and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pans.
