Notes
Store any leftover cake, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. It'll be fine at room temperature for a day or so though.
You can make this into a layer cake if you prefer. Use two 9-inch cake pans and check for doneness at 25 minutes. You may want to increase the frosting by half (1.5x the recipe) so you have enough for the top and sides.
If you make this recipe into cupcakes, bake for 18–20 minutes.
