Homemade Classic Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting for Two
"Baking a 6" layer cake is the perfect size for two. This yellow cake is tender and moist. The silky chocolate frosting is sweet, without being TOO sweet. We got six slices out of this cute little cake, that were just the right size. It would also be perfect to bake for baby's "smash" cake, too!..."
