    4 eggs
    1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
    2 cups white sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
