I have been using this one for several years now, and it is still a favorite. I do add a little more of the dressing. I have made this using bulghur and quinoa as well.

When I first made this cake my family loved it, but it seemed way too oily for me. However, like a previous reviewer mentioned if you let it sit a day or two it gets much better. This is a great cake if you are looking for something easy and fast to make, but I recommend it more if you can let it sit a day. Makes really good cupcakes too.

This is a good basic buttercream recipe. I typically use all butter to frost my cake, then use half butter and half shortening for my piping. It is important to use room temp butter. If you heat it in the microwave it may get too warm and your icing could seperate. You can whip for only 5, but if you whip for at least 10 minutes you will get a better texture.
