Homemade Yellow Butter Cake

I don't think anything is more homey than a big fat piece of yellow cake slathered with chocolate frosting. This is the kind of cake your granny gave you, quite possibly set on a paper towel, and sent you out to the back porch so she could make a telephone call in peace. If you got lucky you got a big mug of icy milk with it. If not, you did what every other red-blooded American kid did and grabbed a drink out of the water hose. The only thing that could make that kind of afternoon more perfect was if your brother came around the corner of the house without looking and got into range of the hose without noticing you standing there. Better still, you got the last piece of cake and sprayed him with the hose. Not that I ever did such a thing.

Whether you got your yellow cake from granny, got squares of it off a church potluck table out of one of those oblong cake carriers, mixed up your own as a kid out of the red box, or don't even remember, there isn't anything better than yellow cake from scratch. It's delicious, moist, the perfect delivery vehicle for chocolate frosting, and gives cows a reason for making milk. It's also simple to make. That's a win-win bombshell.
