* Tip for easily removing cake from pans - place hot pans on a wet towel. The steam will make the cake easier to remove without breaking. Take a knife and run along the sides of pan to release from edges. Place a plate over the pan and turn upside down. Let sit for a minute and gently lift pan from cake.

7. When cake has cooled, ice the cake.
