6. A toothpick put into the center of the cakes should come out clean after 25 to 30 minutes of baking in a preheated oven.

Assembly:

1.  Arrange one layer of the cakes on a serving platter after they have fully cooled.
2. Over the top of the initial layer, evenly spread a layer of cream cheese frosting.
3. After putting the second cake layer on top, use the leftover cream cheese frosting to frost the cake's edges and top.
4. You can use more frosting, sprinkles, or cake crumbs as decorations if you'd like.
5. Before serving, place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the icing to solidify.
