Remove cake from pan, but let it cool completely before frosting (see www.cuisinart.com for a variety of frosting recipes). NOTE: The cake can be used as one thick layer, but it is most impressive when halved. To do so, use a serrated knife and evenly and carefully slice in half, horizontally, through the center.
