Bake at 350 degrees F for about ⏱️ 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
8
Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool completely.
9
Trim the domes and sides (if necessary). I always do this with my cakes because I like the way they look at the end.
10
To assemble, remove cake from pans and discard the parchment papers. Place one cake on cake stand and use a spatula to spread icing on top. Place another cake on top of the frosting. Spread more icing on top of the cake. Toss some sprinkles on top and enjoy!
