Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease three 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 5 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 3 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 6 large eggs, one at a time, and stir in 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Carefully alternate adding the dry ingredients and 1 cup each of whole milk and sour cream to the wet mixture.
- Divide the batter into bowls, add food coloring to each, and mix until desired colors are achieved.
- Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, carefully cut out small sections in the center of each layer and fill with 1 1/2 cups of Lucky Charm marshmallows.
- Stack the layers using buttercream frosting to hold them together, then frost the exterior with buttercream.
- Decorate with green, black, and yellow food coloring and add extra Lucky Charms on top for a finishing touch.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Use gel food coloring for vibrant hues, and avoid over-mixing for a fluffier cake.
