27. 2. **Prepare Pans**: Line six 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease them lightly.
28. 3. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps.

31. 4. **Cream Butter and Sugar**: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
32. 5. **Add Eggs**: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
33. 6. **Mix Dry with Wet Ingredients**: Slowly mix in half of the dry ingredients followed by some of the milk. Repeat until all ingredients are incorporated.

45. 12. **Add Top Layer and Frosting**: Place the final colored layer on top and frost the entire cake exterior.
