Ingredients
- 2 butter cake mixes, plus ingredients on package
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 stick butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Bake the two cakes according to package instructions.
-
Meanwhile, combine sugars, butter, milk, and vanilla and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a hard boil, time for 3 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent graining. (If your cakes are cool, you may use an electric mixer to speed this up).
- When cakes are done, layer them on top of each other. When icing is cool enough to be fairly stiff, ice cake.
