4. 4 large eggs (320 kcal)
5. 1 cup whole milk (150 kcal)
6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.

Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 3: Combine flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4: Divide the batter into separate bowls and tint each with different food coloring gels. Create a vibrant palette.

Step 5: Pour each colored batter into the prepared pans. Use a toothpick to create swirls and abstract patterns.

Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

Step 7: Frost and decorate your cake as desired, embracing the abstract theme. Slice and enjoy a slice of edible artistry!
