Prepare the Batter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Bake the Layers
Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans. Pour each colored batter into its own pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
