mixture. Stir in vanilla
Pour batter into two greased and floured 9 inch round cakepans. Bake
at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the
center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, remove layers
from pans and cool completely.

Gradually add sugar, beating well until spreading consistency. Stir
in the vanilla.
Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. This
will yield enough for one two layer cake.
