In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Once combined, pour ⅓ of the batter into one small bowl, ⅓ into a second bowl and ⅓ into a 3rd bowl. Add red food coloring into one bowl to make the batter red. Add blue food coloring to the second bowl to make the batter blue.
Pour the batters into three different greased 6in cake pans.

Add the butter to the stand mixer bowl and beat on medium. Slowly add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and the milk one tablespoon at a time until the frosting is the right consistency.
When the cake has cooled, start frosting and layering the cake with the white frosting.
Once the cake is frosted, divide the remaining frosting into two bowls. Use food coloring to make one bowl of frosting red and the other blue.
Add the colored frosting to two separate piping bags to pipe swirls on the top of the cake. Add the sprinkles to the cake and enjoy!
