Preheat the oven to the temperature stated on the cake mix box.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients specified for the cake. Mix until the batter is smooth and well blended.

Grease the baking pans thoroughly with butter, Pam spray, coconut oil, or sprinkle flour over the pan to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter evenly into both pans.

Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box.

To check for doneness, insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the cakes. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go!

Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for a few minutes, then carefully remove them.

Place a dollop of frosting on your serving platter to secure the first cake layer.

If needed, level the top of the first layer with a knife for smooth stacking, then spread frosting on top of it.

Carefully place the second layer on top and frost it generously.

To create a clean finish, apply a dirty icing coat to seal in any crumbs.

Decorate the cake as desired with sprinkles, fruit, or other toppings.

Slice and enjoy your scrumptious Two-layer Cake.
