what you need

4 eggs
1-2/3 cups  granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla, divided
2 cups  flour
1-1/3 cups water
1 cup  MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/4 tsp.  baking soda
1/4 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
6 Tbsp.  butter or margarine, softened
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
3/4 cup  unsweetened cocoa powder

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with wax paper.

BEAT eggs, granulated sugar and 1 tsp. of the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add flour, water, dressing, 2/3 cup cocoa, the baking soda and baking powder; beat until well blended. Pour evenly into prepared pans.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 10 min.; remove from pans. Immediately remove wax paper. Cool completely on wire racks.

BEAT butter and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add combined powdered sugar and 3/4 cup cocoa alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition. Use to fill and frost the cake layers.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute
Prepare as directed, using MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing.
Jazz It Up
Garnish frosted cake with sliced cresh strawberries just before serving.
Oven Rack Safety
Check to make sure that racks are positioned properly in the oven before preheating. It is more difficult and less safe to move the racks when they are hot.
