Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour with baking powder. Add alternately with the milk, beating until smooth and light after each addition. Add both extracts.

Place one-quarter of the batter in another bowl and color it green. (A few drops of food coloring.) Place another one-quarter of the batter in another bowl and color it pink. Color the rest of the batter yellow. Pour half of the yellow dough into a well greased and floured tube pan. Pour green batter over this, then the pink and then the remainder of the yellow.
