That is one delicious-looking cake! The best thing is it doesn't have that sickly fake yellow color that box cake mix has. I'm so making that one! Yummy!
FINALLY!!!!!! That perfect homemade yellow cake.

Looks great. I make cakes and seel them out of my home. I will be trying this soon. Now if someone had a simple carmel icing recipe I would be set ....
Was that store-bought or home-made icing? And if the latter, what was your recipe?
I don't use the canned icing anymore, just make a simple one with:
1 box confectioner's sugar
1 stick unsweetened butter
1/4 cup milk
1 t vanilla
Do you have a better recipe for that chocolate icing?

Ok, my b-day is in Oct. I will be expecting one of these...
I have a major sweet tooth and this would just hit the spot. Looks good enough to eat...

The frosting on this cake is a really old frosting recipe handed down in my family for generations. I updated it just a bit and adapted it to the microwave, its my sons favorite he calls yellow cake with this frosting Grandma cake.
Cooked Chocolate Frosting
Mix together in a large microwave save bowl:
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cornstarch; packed
7 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
Stir in with a wire wisk :
1-1/2 cups boiling water
Cook in microwave on high at 1 minute intervals stirring well after each with the wire whisk. As mixture begins to thicken cook at 30 second interval until the mixture is very thick.
Then stir in 6 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla; stirring until the butter is melted; cool to frosting consistency and frost cake.
If you prefer to cook it on the stove just stir the boiling water into the dry ingredients and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick and bubbly; remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla.

Thanks for the recipe. I love to cook from scratch. I will make it in a day or so. I can't wait. There is a recipe for the best chocolate icing I have ever had. I calls for eggs. I tried it and it is great. I will try to find it.
