Apple Cake before baking
*
- Pour the cake mixture into the lined baking pan and bake for 45 minutes or until inserted toothpick test comes out clean/dry.
- Let the baked cake cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes.
Carefully holding the two sides of overhang parchment paper, lift and transfer the cake and put it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, pick up the cake by the overhang parchment paper and place it horizontally on a cutting board.
- Using a serrated bread knife, cut cake vertically in the center into two pieces.
- Carefully remove the parchment paper from each piece and place cakes back on the cutting board.
- Again cut each piece vertically in half. Now there are 4 pieces of 3.25″x9″.
Cut each cake into 6 pieces = 24 pieces of 3.25″x 1.5″.
