Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans. 2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. 3. In a larger bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. 4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk or water, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. 5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. 6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting and Assembly

1. While the cakes are cooling, prepare your choice of buttercream or fondant frosting. If using food coloring, mix it into the frosting until you achieve the desired color. 2. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on your serving plate and spread a layer of frosting over it. 3. Top with the second cake layer and repeat the frosting process. Finish with the third layer and frost the top and sides of the cake. 4. Decorate as desired and let the cake set before slicing and serving.
