When I made this for Z's birthday party, he'd requested a tiered layer cake, so I doubled the recipe and made three cakes. I remember my mom baking with wax paper-lined cake pans, and hoped that technique would help here. It did! If you want an "easier-out," trace your cake pan base onto wax paper, cut the paper and place it inside the bottom of the pan. Then proceed with spray-oil and flour coating. Bake as directed. After pan has cooled, use a knife to loosen the edges of the cake and flip out onto plate. **Remove wax paper!** Voila. (add horrible green frosting to create a kid's bday cake, optional)
