I started baking a year ago. My goal is to make some respectable cake.
So far the results had been OK until I tried a box of Betty Cocker
Supermoist Cake. Just substituting oild with real butter, it's MUCH
better than any cake I'd made from scratch. It can be perpared in less
than 5 munites and the cakes are fluffy and moist. A few people asked
me about the recipe. They were kind of disappointed when being told
"Betty Cocker" box.

Anyone got a recipe which is better or same as the "supermoist"? Thank
you.

Please don't save me from the "box" cake mixers. It takes the joy out
of baking.

I've found this one to be very reliable, and popular. Our 15-yo daughter,
who tends to disdain *anything* prepared at home, loves it, and asks me to
make one a couple of times a month! You'll find the recipe many places on
the net, plus at least one weird one, made with Milky Way bars(!), but the
link is to the version I use. Some sites suggest two round pans, but I
like the 13x9 best. And it doesn't need frosting! It's an old Hershey's
recipe, as far as I can tell
