Baking
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting

- Once the cakes are cooled, frost between the layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with more sprinkles as desired!
