- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour six 6-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Once the batter is well combined, divide it evenly into six bowls.
