Bake the Layers
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Layers
Remove the pans from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
