CAKE

Sift dry ingredients together Combine liquids then stir into the flour mixture Pour into the prepared cake pans

Bake for minutes (longer if using one inch by inch pan) Test to be sure the cakes are finished: the cakes

should slightly pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out fairly

clean (not wet with batter clinging to it) Also be careful not to overbake the cakes because they can become too

dry and dense in this case
