Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
¾ cup cocoa powder (for chocolate layer)
1 tsp strawberry extract (for strawberry layer)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for vanilla layer)
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
½ cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 18x13-inch baking sheet.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Gradually add sugar; beat until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs one at a time along with milk and extracts until smooth.
Divide batter into three bowls: mix cocoa powder into one for chocolate flavor, add strawberry extract into another for strawberry flavor, leave the last as plain vanilla.
Spread each layer evenly onto the prepared sheet pan: chocolate on one side, vanilla in the middle, and strawberry on the other.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting with buttercream.
