THERE IS NO BUTTER OR OIL IN THE CAKE, BUT SO AS NOT TO MISLEAD ANYONE, THERE IS BUTTER IN THE FROSTING
2 c all-purpose flour
2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

1 pkg cream cheese, softened, 8 oz.
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c confectioners’ sugar

2. Put all the cake ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix all of the cake ingredients together.
4. Pour into a greased 9X13 inch pan.
