As promised... here is the recipe:

Yellow Cake

3/4 cup butter
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups milk

1.  Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 
2. Grease and flour two 9" or 8" cake pans or one 9x13".
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Put all ingredients into bowl and mix with electric mixer on medium for 2 1/2 minutes.
5. Bake for 25 minutes (9") or 35 minutes (8" or 9x13").
6. Cool completely.

Fudge Frosting

(This recipe will cover a two layer cake - tops and sides.  If you cook a 9x13 - half the recipe.)

2 lbs. of powdered sugar
1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup butter (softened)
2/3 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons vanilla

1.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. 
2.  Beat with an electric mixer on medium for 1 minute. 
3.  Cool for 20 minutes or until mixture reaches spreading consistency.  If frosting is too thick, add boiling water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches spreading consistency.
