Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter into three bowls. Leave one plain (white), color one with red food coloring, and the other with blue food coloring.
Spoon dollops of each color batter randomly into the prepared pan. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marble effect.
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
