• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Coffee Buttercream Frosting
• In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the icing sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy.
