Super yummy! I made these because it was something different and also i could make small sizes to take to work...this makes cake portable! they are perect for spring/summer! i tweaked this recipe a little bit, the original is from betty crockers annual recipies 08 cookbook.

If using only 1 0r two small pans , refridgerate batter while baking other ckes , wash pan before refilling and baking next batch.
Bake 9-13 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool 5 minutes.
Remove from pan , and cool completly -about 30 minutes.
