Recipe




Cake:
Mix by hand, all ingredients EXCEPT water.
When well mixed, add water and mix.
Pour into greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes
Prepare frosting while cake bakes - cake is frosted while warm.



Frosting:

Combine first 5 ingredients and cook in amedium saucepan until thickened. Stir constantly.
Cool 10 minutes.
Add vanilla.

Frost cake while cake is warm.

NOTES:
* I use flour in place of corn starch.
Allow cake to cool slightly before frosting, it should be warm but not hot.
This is a very moist cake.
