Looking for cake recipes?

Does anyone have any cake recipes that people are always asking for the recipe. I'm looking to try some new recipes that taste great. Would enjoy icing and filling recipes as wellLooking for cake recipes?
yes! My mom's chocolate cake is DIVINE, and people are constantly asking for the recipe. I'll go look it up...





Okay, it's called the ';Best Ever Chocolate Cake';








CAKE:


*Sift together 2 cups flour and 2 cups sugar into a bowl.





*Bring 1 stick of butter, 4 tbsp. cocoa, 1/2 cup crisco, and 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over the flour/sugar mixture. Stir.


*Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. soda, and 2 beaten eggs. Stir.





*Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 pan. Cook at 350 for about 30 minutes. Just keep an eye on it. It's a pretty normal cake, so it'll pull away from the edges of the pan and spring back when you push it. I rarely time it, I just watch it.








ICING:


*Put 1 stick of butter, 5-6 tbsps of milk, and 4 tbsp cocoa in a pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and beat in 1 box of sifted powdered sugar. Add 1 tsp. vanilla. Pour over cake. (I'm not positive that we use a whole box of powdered sugar, just taste test it.... it will be very sweet tasting.)

Okay, I can't resist, I have to tell you about another, it's kind of a weird cake, but it is so so so so so so good. It's called a ';Lemon-Lime'; cake, and you put it in the fridge. Don't let the name throw you off, it really doesn't taste anything like lemon or lime : ) It's delish!





*Make a packaged lemon cake. Let it cool.


*Poke holes with a straw all the way through the cake, all across the cake, about one inch apart.


*Mix 1 cup of boiling water with a small package of lime jello, stir till dissolved.


*Take straw or eyedropper to drop about a teaspoon of the lime jello liquid in each of the holes. (beware, this is a very sticky job)





FROSTING: This recipe is on the back of the ';Dream Whip Whipped topping mix'; box.....





1/2 cups cold milk


1 envelope of Dream Whip


1 four ounce package of Jello Instant Vanilla pudding.


Mix on low until blended.


Mix on high for 4-6 minutes, or until soft peaks form.





Frost the cake, and refrigerate.
