    That’s my favorite basic combo!: yellow cake and chocolate frosting!

    The best cake/icing combo. Dad has great taste and that cake looks delicious!

    That was my dad’s favorite! He liked it from the box, but I’ve wanted to learn to make it from scratch since he passed but haven’t taken the time to.

    Idk why that looks so irresistible right now, but I feel like I need to stop at the store on my way to work

    That’s the OG of cakes as far as I’m concerned. I hope your dad liked it, I’d give anything to be able to make a cake for my dad’s birthday.
    One year I had a replica of Hyman Roths cake from Godfather 2. He loved it.

    Literally just made a yellow cake / chocolate frosting combo tonight! I was craving it (8 mos pregnant). I use the KA Birthday Cake recipe
