I have always had good luck with stuff from cooks.com
I cannot help you with making a cake from scratch. However, a VERY GOOD cake recipe that I recently discovered (and have tried it in various flavors of cake) is to buy one box of cake mix (any kind) and mix with one can of diet coke. Mix batter, pour into a greased pan and bake according to box directions. It is so moist. So much better for you too! Good luck.
