4. Mix on low speed for 1 minute until just combined.
5. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
7. Bake for 32-36 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes.
9. Invert cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
