The Never Fail Cake!!!

World cup fever is almost down....I still remember the first time when the Indian team won the world cup....it was way back in 1983....I was 11 at that time..... fast-forward to 2011, I watched World cup match with my kids and hubby.....how time flies.....


As soon as summer vacation set in my brothers kids gave a surprise visit....they were here for almost a week....so with 5 kids in and around the house....made me completely busy.....and the reason for my absence from blogging.

I made this cake and was totally impressed with its texture and how quick and easy it was to make. Infact I made this cake thrice in a row now....I stumbled upon this Betty Crocker recipe here. Now, why did I title the cake as The Never Fail Cake and not The Yellow Cake or The Sponge Cake.....because it came out perfect each time I made it....it did not sink...did not crumble...had the most perfect texture....too perfect....well you can see it for yourself....and lets get baking!!!.


Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
