Cool the cake upright on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen. Invert onto the rack, lift off pan and let cool completely. Place on a serving dish.

SUPRISED!!! i almost tossed this cake out after i mixed it because the batter was like water. I guess it is suppose to be that way. I told myself lets see how it works out. I put it in the oven and took my chances. 30 mins later it looked like cake and done! Like the title of my review l was SURPRISED. I let it cool dusted it with powdered sugar and cut my husband and myself apiece and was quite disappointed it was like cutting a sponge and the taste wasn't quite right. I make cakes from scratch often and well needless to say I wont be making this one again. Pros: cooks quickly,looks delishious Cons: spongy,off tasting, tough almost

Yum! This cake was super easy and super delicious to make. It was light and decadent. I made it to share with friends and everyone raved about it. I used almond extract in place of the vanilla as I had run out...liked the nutty taste it added.
