Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ⅓ cups sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk ((at room temperature))
  • ½ cup butter ((melted, cooled))
  • 2 large eggs ((at room temperature))
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • gel food coloring ((5-6 colors of your choice))
  • 1 ½ recipe vanilla buttercream frosting
  • rainbow color mini jelly beans

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour your baking pans, or spray with non-stick baking spray.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer measure out the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt). Whisk or mix to distribute the flour. Form a well in the center of your dry mixture.
  • Pour the milk, melted and cooled butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the center of the dry ingredients then mix at medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Divide the batter into either 5-6 equal portions in small bowls and add gel food coloring to create your desired colors. Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pans.
  • Bake on the middle of your oven's center rack at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick, knife, or cake tester comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven when done and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
