Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch cake pans.
Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
Divide batter evenly into four bowls and add different gel food coloring to each. Gently fold to mix.
Pour each colored batter into separate cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Assemble the cake: Spread a thin layer of buttercream between each cake layer. Stack them to create a rainbow effect.
Frost the cake completely with buttercream and smooth it out.
Decorate with unicorn toppers, edible glitter, and piping designs to enhance the magical look.
