Southern Living Basic Yellow Cake Recipe ( or Chocolate) image

I found this is an older Southern Living cookbook- "Heritage Cakes" . This is a basic yellow cake that yields 2 layers. The recipe is as found: my only changes have been direction clarifications. For Chocolate Cake: Add 3 ( 1 oz.) squares of unsweetened choclate, melted in a double boiler, to the creamed mixture.

This cake was a little dry for my taste and the frosting was too sweet. I probably won't make it again.
