Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large bowl, measure all ingredients.
With a mixer at low speed, beat until well mixed, constantly scraping the bowl.
Beat for 5 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally.
Pour batter into prepared cake pans and bake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean and dry.
Cool layers in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on racks. Then frost with frosting of choice!
