If you'd like a layer cake, double or triple the ingredients.TO MAKE MUFFINS: Line a 12-count muffin tin with muffin liners. Distribute the batter amongst the 12-muffin pans. Bake the muffins for 17-19 minutes, or until a skewer comes out 'just' clean. Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
