Boxed cake mixes are usually the easier route to go, but homemade cakes are always better. I know time is usually a major factor when making a cake. And I know a lot of you probably don't have a lot of extra time. So today I have a yummy cake recipe that won't take much of your time! I have been using this recipe for awhile and LOVE it. It's simple, has few ingredients, and is a hit with everyone.
