Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup whole milk
½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 tsp strawberry extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy (3-5 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in whole milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture; mix gently.
Divide the batter into three bowls: leave one plain for vanilla, mix cocoa powder into the second for chocolate, and add strawberry extract to the third.
Pour each batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool completely before assembling with frosting between each layer.
