Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Red gel food coloring

  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract.
  6. Incorporate the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter into three separate bowls, keeping one plain and coloring the others with red and blue gel food coloring.
  8. Create the marble effect by scooping dollops of each color into the prepared pans and swirling them with a knife.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
