Bake the Cakes
Pour equal amounts of batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Assemble the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting (chocolate frosting is recommended) on top. Repeat with remaining layers, stacking them on top of each other. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
