1
For Cake:.
2
Preheat oven to 350.
3
Stir first 5 ingredients directly into an ungreased 9X13 cake pan.
4
In a bowl, stir together water, vinegar, and vanilla; pour over dry ingredients.
5
Pour oil over all.
6
Using a fork, stir until mixture is a uniform color and has no lumps.
7
Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8
Cool COMPLETELY in pan then frost with icing #1 and drizzle icing #2 over that.
9
Icing #1.
10
Whisk together flour and milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened.
11
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
12
Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
13
Add flour mixture and beat until icing is fluffy and sugar is dissolved.
14
Icing #2.
15
Needs to be scaled way down because if you use it all it makes a big soupy mess on top of the cake so I always throw MOST of this away!
16
Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts, stirring well.
17
Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, without stirring.
18
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
19
Beat until thick.
20
I always use one of those squirt bottles you can get anywhere for this step; pour into squirt bottle and drizzle as much as you want on top of cake over icing #1.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
