- Evenly distribute the cake pans that have been prepared.
- While the oven is preheated, bake the cakes for twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
- While the pans are cooling on the wire racks, wait ten minutes before moving them to the wire racks to finish cooling entirely.
