Servings: persons

26 ounces cake flour (about 6 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups granulated sugar
3 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
10 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
Red food coloring
Blue food coloring
Baking spray with flour
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cups powdered sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Weigh flour or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2
Beat granulated sugar and room-temperature butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and sour cream; beat at low speed until just combined. Divide batter evenly among 3 bowls. Tint batter in one bowl with desired amount of red food coloring; tint batter in a second bowl with desired amount of blue food coloring. (Batter in third bowl remains untinted.)
3
Spread red, blue, and untinted batters into 3 separate 13- x 9-inch pans coated with baking spray. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4
Meanwhile, beat softened butter, milk, vanilla, and 4 cups powdered sugar at medium-low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
5
Place cooled red cake layer on a plate; spread one-third of buttercream over top. Top with white cake layer; spread one-third of buttercream over top, and top with blue layer. Spread remaining one-third of buttercream over top of cake. Chill until buttercream sets up slightly; cut into cubes.
