Prepare the Cake Layers:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until smooth.
2️⃣ Create the Ombre Effect:
Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Leave one plain, tint the second with a small amount of pink food coloring, and tint the third with a deeper shade of pink. Mix until the colors are uniform.
Pour each batter into its prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
