Create the batter as instructed on the box:

I actually did not have the oil that the recipe called for. So I supplemented apple sauce instead, YUM! It makes cakes so moist and if you’re wondering, no it does not take on the taste. You can’t tell, promise!

Evenly pour the batter into each pan (about 2 cups each)

Then take out any aggression you have by (lightly) banging the pans on the counter to ensure the batter has spread evenly in the pan.

Once done baking, allow each to cool.

The recipe called for different baking times due to one being glass and one being dark, however the dark pan cake was completed before the glass dish. Which was opposite of the directions on the box.

Use a toothpick in the center to determine when the cake is completely cooked through.

Now this is where I realized that my cake pan dimensions were actually different and one was 1′ larger than the other. If you use pans that are the exact same dimensions, then you won’t have this problem. I used a sharp knife and sliced off the excess. Some of the excess found its way into the mouth of a nearby toddler.
