      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.)
