For an extra touch of whimsy, decorate the cooled cake layers with your favorite frosting and a generous pile of chocolate coins at the center! Ensure the shortening is at room temperature for easier creaming. To prevent the cake from sticking, use parchment paper rounds at the bottom of the pans in addition to greasing and flouring. Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can result in a tough cake.
