Default Moist delicious yellow cake, from a mix you say?


Yes, from a box mix.

I snagged this recipe off of The Pioneer Woman's website.

I need a recipe that I can make several pans of to serve 40 people and
this one fits the bill.

Today thought I'd do a test run and it is quick, easy and delicious.

Here's the recipe ;-)
