Nickey's Simple Yellow Cake image

An easy, very basic cake; I don't think you can hurt it. I've tried it with different extracts, alone and in combination, with candie sprinkles in it, and with cookie crumbs (Nickey's icebox butter cookie) layered on the bottom, incorporated within, and sprinkled on top ... all turned out fine:) Thinking of trying it without the pudding mix to see how that turns out.
