Pour into prepared pans.
Bake in moderate oven (350Â°) for 30 minutes, or until centers spring back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes.
Loosen around edges with a knife; turn out onto racks; cool completely.
Fill and frost, layer cake style, with lemon butter.
