Greek yogurt reduces sugar while adding creaminess.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two round cake pans.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

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

Stir in vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

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

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

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 food coloring as desired.
