Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients on the counter and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini cake pans.

Mixing

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Combining Dry Ingredients

Baking

  • Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
  • Gently remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Frosting and Serving
