Greek yogurt reduces sugar while adding creaminess.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1 cup of milk, until just combined.

Divide the batter into three bowls. Color one bowl with red food coloring, one with blue food coloring, and leave one plain.

Pour the colored batters into the prepared pans in layers, creating a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Once cooled, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate with sprinkles and additional food coloring as desired.
