    Title: Basic Yellow Cake
    Categories: Cakes
    Yield: 1 Cake

    2 1/4 c All-purpose flour; (do not
    -sift the flour)
    1 1/2 c Granulated sugar; (1 cup
    -brown, 1/2 white)
    3 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1 ts Salt
    1 1/4 c Milk
    Vegetable oil
    1/2 c Butter; (not margarine),
    -softened
    1 tb Vanilla extract; (or
    -hazelnut liquor)
    3 lg Eggs
    3 tb Chai spice mix; heaping;
    -(optional, to make it a
    -spice cake)

    Preheat oven to 350 F

    Cut wax paper to fit the bottom of three 9 x 1-1/2" round pans. Spray
    the pans with cooking spray, place the wax paper in the pans and
    spray the paper.

    In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and
    salt, mixing well.

    Measure the 1-1/4 cups of milk in a 2 cup measuring cup, then add
    enough vegetable oil to bring the liquid up to 1-1/3 cups.

    Add the milk/vegetable oil mixture, butter and vanilla to the flour
    mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium to medium-high
    speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as needed.

    Add the eggs and continue beating an additional 2 minutes. Pour
    batter into prepared pans.

    Bake at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted
    near center of cake comes out clean, or until cake springs back when
    touched lightly in the center.

    Cool cakes on wire racks for 15 minutes; remove from pans and cool
    completely.

    Note: I used 2 cake pans, enough batter for 2 cups in each, didn't
    use wax paper, used spray oil

    I used 1/2 powdered sugar glaze for a layer (Add enough milk, slowly,
    to desired consistency. It hardens later.)
