Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
