Easy vanilla cake – made healthier with whole wheat flour!

My daughter had a birthday this week, and she requested a pink cake with pink frosting. She didn’t care about the flavor – just the color. Pink frosting? I can do that. A pink cake? Well, I tried, but you can see from the pictures that it’s not really pink. I added food coloring to the cake batter, but after baking, the color seems to be lost.
At least the cake was tasty!
