   vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until smooth and of

   Debbie's notes: I made this for a Halloween party but doubled it and baked
   it in two 9x12" baking pans and cut the cooking time down by about 5 to 10
   minutes or until lightly browned on top and tests done. It's a great cake
   and sweet.
