Preheat your oven to 350°F then grease and dust two cake pans with some flour and set it aside.

Cream the butter with sugar until it's light and Fluffy then whisk the eggs one at a time until all the eggs are completely incorporated.

Combine the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and food coloring - mix thoroughly to make sure the yogurt is completely dissolved into the mixture.

Begin to alternate the addition of the dry ingredients and wet ingredients into the creamed butter starting with the flour and ending with the flour - about 5 additions in all is good (3 times for the flour and 2 times for the liquid) then use a spatula to gently fold the cake batter a couple of times just to ensure the mixture is well incorporated.
