Pour the batter evenly in each of the sprayed/floured cake pans Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Once fully baked, remove from oven & allow the 3 cakes to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before removing them. Once removed, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. I always use a cake leveler to make sure the layers are even, you can also use a serrated knife While they finish cooling, prepare your frostings.
