Pour batter into a pre-greased round cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Place the cake pan in the middle rack of the oven.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness at around the 20-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center.

If the toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done; if it has wet batter, bake for a few more minutes.

Let the cake cool before frosting and decorating.
