Cool and frost with Cream Cheese
Frosting*. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or decorate with pumpkin
candies. This is the best cream cheese frosting
I have ever made. 2 8-oz packages cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 4 cups powdered sugar 3 tsp vanilla

lightly till just blended. Add chopped nuts, optional
Beat well, but do not over mix and pour into a greased 9X13 cake pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Baking time will depend on your oven.
Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting or Coconut Pecan Frosting. (I have also made a streusel mix (1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1 tsp. cinnamon) and poured on top before baking.
Sandy Frey
Nancy's Devil Brownies ***** 1 teaspoon vanilla

This
recipes makes two 9X13 pans.
The secret to this recipe is to have all ingredients at room temperature.
1 cup butter 2 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups buttermilk (I always substitute sour milk. I add 2-3 tablespoons vinegar to regular milk and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also use plain yogurt or sour cream instead of buttermilk.)
3 3/4 cup all purpose flour 2 1/4 tsp baking powder 2 1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9X13 pans.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Beat in flour alternately with sour milk (milk, flour, milk, flour, milk, flour, milk). Always end with liquid. Mix just until incorporated. Pour into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven for 27 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. This will depend on your oven. Allow to cool.
Coconut Frosting / Filling
This frosting works great on the Moist Yellow Cake as the cake isn't very sweet. Depending on how much frosting you want, it will frost one or two cakes.
2 cups sour cream 2 cups white sugar 2 cups flaked coconut 1 (8-oz) container Cool Whip, thawed Combine sour cream and sugar; mix well. Stir in coconut. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread on top of cake. Chill for several hours or overnight. It seems very sweet at first, but after chilling, the sweetness fades.
I also freeze this.
I have also sprinkled slivered almonds on top of the frosting just before serving.
