• Pour the batter into the pan(s). Bake for the 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 9x13 pans usually need to go for a few more minutes.
• If you are layering the round cakes, cool them for ten minutes on a wire rack, run a knife gently around the edges, flip pans over, rest for 10 minutes, then remove cakes from pans. Don't worry if they break apart a little bit. You can "glue" them back together with glaze and frosting!
• Allow cakes to cool completely, even overnight, before glazing/frosting.
• Espresso/Coffee Glaze:.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and coffee/espresso. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Allow to cool to body temperature or lower.
• Cappuccino Frosting.

• Combine butter and shortening in a seperate, large bowl or mixer. Beat until fluffy.
• Add vanilla to the butter/shortening mixture.
• To the butter mixture, add half of the dry ingredients, beat, then half of the espresso/coffee, beat some more, then the other half of the dry ingredients, beat again.
• Add the remaining coffee slowly, only until desired consistency is reached. For a frosted layer cake, you want it to be a bit thick, but still smooth and fluffy.
• Assembly:.
• Set up desired cake board with one of the round cakes. Brush the ckae entirely with the semi-cool coffee glaze.
• Allow the glaze about 5 minutes to set.
• Spread a generous layer of frosting on top and place the second cake.
• Glaze the second cake.
• If you have any leftover glaze, just keep brushing it on (resist the urge to sip it, if you can!).
• Frost the sides and top of the cake with remaining frosting.
• Store cake in the refrigerator until you need it, as that will set the frosting properly. Because of the shortening, it will sit out well in normal temperatures, once it's been chilled.
• Enjoy!
