This was exactly what I was looking for...the traditional recipe for a moist, delicious cake. My 12-year-old daughter made it for her birthday. We thought it was awesome! We also used less powdered sugar (3/4 pkg). No wonder it won a blue ribbon!!

Easy Yellow Cake

Wow! This was my first time making a cake from scratch, and boy and I glad I came across this recipe. Moist and rich I used cane sugar and added honey, and the resulting flavor was so unique and yummy! I paired it with chocolate-coconut frosting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
