Austin's Favorite Devil Dog Cake

Submitted by Golfcrazy

"The cake tastes like an inside out devil dog or hostess cupcake only better. You always have the ingredients on hand. Don't shorten the mixing time. Use stick butter or margarine. The icing recipe makes a liberal amount so I never double it."

Very nice cake. I made a 9x13. I didn't care for the almond extract (hence the 4 stars), next time I willl leave it out next time (yes, there will be a next time). Moist and yummy. Prepared per box and recipe.
