Instructions

For the Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Follow DIRECTIONS ON BOX FOR making cake batter.
Butter and sugar pans to prepare them for filling with batter.
ALSO, my mom lined the cake pans with wax paper.
She turned the 2 cake pans over and traced he size of pan by putting a piece of wax paper over bottom of each cake pan. Trace size of pan by rubbing wax paper with pair of scissors.
Cut the traced wax paper circle with scissors and place in prepared cake pans which have been BUTTERED and SUGARED.

For the Buttercream:

In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, coffee, and 2.5 TBSP hot milk and the vanilla extract.
With a portable electric mixer at medium speed, beat mixture until smooth and fluffy.
If frosting is too thick, gradually add more hot milk. If too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
Cool cake completely about 20-30 minutes before frosting. Makes enough to frost two eight or nine inch cakes. I like very thickly frosted cake so I make 1 1/2 times the recip
