Baking
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembling
- Prepare your frosting while the cakes cool. Once cooled, place one layer on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, add the second layer, and repeat. Decorate as desired.
Serving
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
