For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink and blue food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.
  • While the cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream frosting by beating the butter in a large bowl until creamy.
  • Gradually add in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • Divide the frosting into two bowls and add a few drops of pink food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other bowl, mixing well.
