I made this for my nephew’s birthday because he likes only white cake. It was so yummy that now my other nephew, his brother, wants me to make it for his birthday! I decorated it with sprinkles but you can use whatever you want. I’ll be making this again and again for sure!

OMG I made this cake the other day or a luncheon and it was a HUGE hit!!! The people that ate the leftovers also loved it. I decided that I needed to give it away so I don’t eat it all!!!! This is an easy and an amazingly delicious recipe.
