Once things are mixed (but not too much! Small lumps can remain and everything will be okay), pour the batter into paper liners about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once those are blended, sift in powdered sugar.

I really don’t know how much powdered sugar I used…probably about 2-3 cups, but it is all about texture and flavor preferences. If the frosting becomes too stiff without enough powdered sugar in it, put in a teaspoon of milk, beat it in, and work from there.
