"I know by now you must have made a thousand different recipes for cakes and most were just so-so, I have been there myself, well sometimes one comes along that is just way to good, this happens to be one of those, This is super-easy, you don’t need a mixer to make it, it’s ridiculously buttery moist and tender, and trust me, there will not be one crumb left! The cake is iced warm, it just doesnt get any better! NOTE for a larger sheet cake size, bake in a 11x17 inch rimmed sheet pan, reduce baking time to 15-18 minutes, the cake will bake out flatter"

This cake baked out beautiful, nice and even around the edges, and so easy, just mix in one bowl then bake, mine was done in just under 30 minutes, used a 13x9-inch pan, I baked it 350 degrees my oven rack set to second-lowest position. I have not cut into it yet, when I do I will update my review and add stars, only used 3/4 cup melted butter for the icing and that amount was fine although it needed a little more milk, I used buttermilk for the icing instead of milk. UPDATE: tryed the cake and it is more of a pudding consistancy, extremely moist almost to the point of TOO moist, I'm not sure if this is the way it is supposed to be, the cake is still warm, also it is way to sweet, I will reduce the sugar in the cake to one cup as the icing is so sweet. Flavor is good though. Would I make it again, mabey, but would make the cake differently, beating eggs and sugar separatley from all dry ingredients. Thanks.
