Steps
  1. Grease and flour 3 - 8" cake pans. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Beat butter and sugar on medium speed 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup raspberries. Blend 15 seconds. Add eggs one at a time (mixture will look curdled). Add vanilla on low. Beat in flour and buttermilk alternately - beginning and ending with flour. Add food coloring. Divide batter among 3 pans.
