I know we can always buy cakes at bakeries but sometimes a homemade layer cake just cannot be replicated. Bake any flavor cake from a mix in two 8-9" cake pans (I like Betty Crocker Devils Food). Canned frosting sometimes has an odd flavor to me and homemade is so easy to do. I have used this basic recipe for years and amounts are approximate.
2/3 c butter (softened)
1 t vanilla
2 T milk
5-6 cups powdered sugar
If making chocolate frosting add:
1/3 c baking cocoa or to taste
Whip together ingredients well adding more milk if too thick. Be careful as a little milk thins it quickly. If too thin just add more powdered sugar until it is at a good spreading consistency.
