  2. STEP 2

    Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in bowl; set aside.

  3. STEP 3

    Combine granulated sugar, 1 cup butter and 1 teaspoon almond extract in another bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, until well mixed. Add flour mixture, alternately with buttermilk, until well mixed.

  4. STEP 4

    Place 3/4 cup batter into each of 3 bowls. Tint with food color to make pink, purple or green batters.

Divide glaze among 3 bowls; tint with food color to make pink, green or purple glaze. Drizzle cake with glaze.

Tip #1

- When making the glaze it helps to have the milk and butter at room temperature so the glaze does not curdle. 

Tip #2

- Paste food colors are sold in craft stores and some grocery stores. You can substitute gel food color but colors may not be as vibrant.
