Notes
- Cake pans: I have also used a 10 inch bundt pan to bake this cake. You may need to decrease the baking time if using a bundt pan. You can also use a 9 inch round pan or an 8 inch square pan. Again, watch the baking times.
- Room temperature eggs: For best results in baking, have your eggs at room temperature before beginning. If you forget to take your eggs out ahead of time, just put them in a bowl and cover them with slightly warm water for five minutes.
