INSTRUCTIONS

  5. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  6. Let the cake layers cool slightly in the pans, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
