Place in the oven for 35 minutes. Start checking if the cake is ready around 30 minutes because everyone oven is a little different. To make sure the cake is done stick a toothpick in the cake. If the toothpick is dry the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out wet. Allow the cake bake the remaining time left.
Once done, take the cake out to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Then you can start frosting your cake! I frosted my cake with store purchased chocolate cake mix
