1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. boiling water
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) round cake pans or 1 (13 x 9 x 2 inch) rectangular pan. In LARGE mixer bowl combine dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Remove from mixer, stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour into prepared pan(s).

Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round cake pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
