Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  4. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  6. Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls based on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring into each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.

  7. Pour the colored batters into the prepared cake pans, spreading them out evenly.

  8. Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread a layer of frosting between each cake layer and cover the entire cake with frosting.

  10. Get creative with decorating your Easter Cake using sprinkles, edible flowers, chocolate eggs, or any other festive decorations you like.

  11. Slice your beautifully decorated Easter Cake and serve it to your family and friends. Enjoy the delicious flavors and the joy of sharing a special treat during this festive season.
