round cake pans. Bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for
30 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool in pans on racks
for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; and completely cool. Place

speed, until soft peaks form and mixture is of a spreading
consistency. DO NOT overbeat. (If you do, you will have butter.)
