Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until the cake batter is smooth and glossy. Do not overmix.
Scrape the cake batter into the greased pan with a spatula.
Transfer the cake to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center. June will notify you when the cake is ready. If desired, follow directions on your June Oven to continue cooking.
Remove the cake from the June Oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cool, run a paring knife between the pan and the edges of the cooled cake. Unmold the cake and transfer the cake to a platter. Use a spatula or knife to spread the frosting evenly on the top of the cake.
