Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup blue food coloring
  • 1/4 cup milk for thinning the batter, if needed

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined and smooth.
  3. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Leave the first bowl plain, mix red food coloring into the second bowl, and blue food coloring into the third bowl.
  4. If the batter is too thick, add a little of the additional milk to thin it out.
  5. Spoon the batters into the prepared cake pans, alternating between the red, white, and blue batters. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the colors together gently.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, frost with your favorite white frosting and decorate with sprinkles or fresh berries.
