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 oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three round cake pans.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl; set aside.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time followed by milk, mixing until just combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients until blended without overmixing.
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 until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before stacking with frosting.
