Need recipe for white 2-layer cake?
I'm looking for a recipe for a white cake, enough to fill a pan that says "for any 2-layer cake mix".
Any frosting recipes would be a nice, too.
Thanks

Recipe for 1 - 8 in 2 layer cake
INGREDIENTS
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Stir in vanilla. Distribute batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when pressed gently in the center. Cool in pans over a wire rack. When completely cooled, frost or fill as desired.
