Heat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour baking pan, 13 x 9 x 2 or two 9-inch or three 8-inch round layer pans. Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, then increase to high speed and beat 3 minutes. Pour into pans.

Frost with cream cheese frosting:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 T. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add a small amount of milk as needed to achieve the consistency desired.
I made this last night and it was super delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe frosting recipe should be cut in half! I had to throw out a ton... also, the cream cheese flavor didn't come out as strongly since you add butter. Personally, I prefer mom's original :)
I have edited this recipe to show the cream cheese frosting that I usually use.
