Spread your cake batter onto lined baking sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. Cool completely. Use your cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles from your cake. You can save the extra later for a snack or use them to make a few cake pops or small trifle.
