This cake ends up tasting like a box mix.  I like making it because you can do it on the spur of the moment (no special ingredients needed).  And you don't kneed to use a mixer or other special tools (no need to sift the flour or cream the butter).  I've found that it keeps really well, lasting about a week without drying out.

We have been eating the cake plain for breakfast or spreading some Nutella or peanut butter on top.
