This cake was excellent. The recipe would be a good all purpose cake mix.
Yummm...white (and yellow) cakes are among my FAVORITES! In the past I've found white cakes to be kind of leaden and dry so will have to try your recipe.
That chocolate frosting looks so yummy!! Definitely saving that too.
Grins on the square cake on a round plate. You delight me. I don't think I have a square cake plate now that I think of it. Ebay here I come!
