Test Cake #2 - All-Occasioin Downy Yellow Butter Cake

Spent the day in Bloomington in meetings, arriving home around 8 pm. Since I'm heading to Chanhassen early Saturday for a girls' weekend, I wanted to bake the cake tonight and ice it tomorrow after work.

This cake went together very smoothly. I had separated the eggs last night and put them in the refrigerator, so that eliminated a little bit of time. I'm not sure if this batter was denser (more dense?) than the White Velvet cake, but I only used the two 8" pans. Dividing the batter into two (approximately 19 oz. each), the pans were only slightly more than half full, so I thought this would be fine. I skipped the 6" pan.

NOTE TO SELF: If you notice leftover grease on the bottom of the oven from the baked pasta, it is best to clean it up before attempting to use the oven; otherwise you end up with a grease fire in the oven......

Scratch the idea of taking a cake to Chanhassen.
