Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Check they are cooked by piercing them with a cocktail stick, if the stick comes out, clean they are cooked
Leave on a wire rack to cool completely
Once the cakes have cooled completely, make the buttercream. Start by beating the softened butter for a minute or two
