Cake:
Mix the dry ingredients. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into two greased and floured 9" cake pans, or one 9 x 13 pan. You can also make roughly two dozen cupcakes. Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (The baking time will be shorter for cupcakes.) Allow the cake to cool slightly but not completely before removing from the pan.

Frosting:
Cream the ingredients together and spread onto a cooled cake!

Personal Notes:
