- Apply nonstick cooking spray to three 8-inch cake pans. Line the bottom of the pans with an 8-inch circle of parchment paper for additional coverage.When a toothpick placed into the centre of the cake comes out clean, bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes after evenly dividing the batter among the three pans.

Notes: I used 2% milk; whole milk is fine, but I wouldn’t recommend skim milk.
Is it possible to freeze leftover handmade cake?
You truly can! I believe it’s wiser to freeze in one or two portions as opposed to the entire amount. In this manner, you may simply thaw out a portion of the cake to consume when needed, instead of thawing the entire cake.
Simply be sure to store it in a freezer-safe container because you don’t want your moist cake to come into contact with the chilly air. Additionally, make sure it’s fully cooled before putting it in the freezer or refrigerator. If you don’t, it will become soggy due to the “heated” moisture.
