  2. In another bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
  3. Slowly add to wet on low speed until just incorporated.
  4. Grease and flour two 9" cake pans. You may use some cocoa powder instead of flour.
  5. Place in a preheated 350°F Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Set on cooling racks to cool 20 minutes before removing from cake pans.
  7. While cake is baking, start the frosting.

  13. Take frosting and frost top of cake layer. Add second cake on top. Spread frosting on top and work down sides.
  14. You can take your time and work a smooth texture using an off set spatula. Or just frost using all the frosting and leave swirl marks.
  15. Top the cake with any decorations you wish. Today, I used crushed butterfinger candies. It helps hide mistakes ;)
  16. Serve and enjoy. Cake should be stored, covered and refrigerated.
