6. Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
7. Place the pans in the oven evenly spaced apart.
8. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through the cooking, until the cake pulls away from the side of the pans and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

17. Frost the cake.
18. Place 1 layer, rounded side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand.
