Traditional Birthday Cake With Chocolate Icing (Kitchenette Cake image

I adapted 2 recipes from my Betty Crocker cookbook that was handed down to me from a friend who is in her 80s. The cookbook belonged to her mother. The original recipes were called "Kitchenette Cake" and "Quick as a Wink Icing." I like this recipe because they make 1 layer of cake, which is perfect for my family of 4. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make more.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I would recommend using less sugar in the icing if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.
