Pour into baking pans and bake at 350 degrees for at least 20 minutes. Check to see that the top of the cake is just golden brown, test with toothpick. If toothpick comes out clean, cake is done. If toothpick comes out with cake on it, try again in 5 minutes, until clean.
Chill in freezer for, at least an hour to make for easier frosting. (Check out my [[Simple Frosting]] recipe)
