Simple White Cake

I only used 2 extra large brown eggs and baked it for 45 minutes at 350°F and baked it in a rectangular glass pan. Turned out great. During mixing I was worried that the batter was too thick, but it was great in the final result. I did not use the caramel filling as I am making a decorative cake.

Recipe turned out fantastic. Light and fluffy. Didn't do caramel filling although I used Peanut Butter Frosting.

Very easy to prepare and delicious. Added chocolate peanut butter morsels and used a chocolate pudding frosting.
