  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans.
  • Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed two minutes.
  • Stir in boiling water. Batter will be thin.
  • Pour into pans.

Notes

For cupcakes, line cupcake tins with paper liners. Fill 2/3 full with batter. I use a cookie scoop. Bake at 350 for 22-25 minutes. Cool completely. Makes 24 regular sized cupcakes, however I was able to make a few mini cupcakes as well.
