Instructions

1. For the cake:
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans and line with parchment paper. Grease again or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Place all ingredients in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, stir on low speed to combine (30 seconds). Then turn mixer up to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of cake comes out clean. Let cool.
