Ingredients
For the cake, you'll need:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 2 cups of sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of milk
For the frosting, you'll need:
- 3 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
To make the cake, first preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute. Add the milk and mix until combined. Divide the frosting into three separate bowls and color each one with yellow, blue, and red food coloring. To assemble the cake, place one layer of cake on the serving platter. Spread a thin layer of yellow frosting over the top. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread a thin layer of blue frosting over the top. Finally, spread a thin layer of red frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with Spongebob characters or whatever else you'd like.
