Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Oven and Pans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans to ensure easy removal post-baking.
Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese frosting on top.
Add the second layer, and repeat the frosting. Top with the final layer and frost the top and sides of the cake
