Very easy to make and very moist. I served it with vanilla ice cream but imagine serving it with butter pecan ice cream would be even better!

A co-worker gave me this recipe a couple of years ago and it is my favorite cake. It is so moist and rich tasting. We make it with a butter pecan cake mix instead of the yellow.
