Preparation

Step 1

Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease or spray a cake pan(s)

Combine all cake ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Don't over beat.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

Allow to cool prior to frosting. If you prefer a more glazed texture on the frosting, frost while still slightly warm.

Frosting:

Combine all frosting ingredients and spread over cooled cake.
