I have used this recipe twice already! I had never made a cake from scratch before and was skeptical that something so easy would provide the desired results. It was DIVINE!!! I love it…my kids love it! Deep, rich, moist cake and heavenly frosting! Thanks SO MUCH!! I am no longer afraid to attempt cakes from scratch!!
