Cooking instruction summary:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease bottom and sides of rectangular pan, 13 X 9 X 2 inches, 2 round pans 9 X 1 1/2 inches, or 3 round pans, 8 X 1 1/2 inches with butter and lightly flour. In a large mixing bowl beat all ingredients using an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans, dividing equally if using two. Bake rectangle 35 to 40 minutes, 9-inch rounds 25 to 30 minutes, 8-inch rounds 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 4. Cool rectangle in pan on wire rack; cool rounds 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire rack and cool completely before frosting. In a medium bowl beat sugar and butter together on low speed until blended. Mix in vanilla and chocolate. Gradually beat in milk, just enough to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. If frosting seems too thick beat in more milk, too thin, beat in more sugar. If the frosting doesn't seem to be coming together keep beating and eventually it will get to a creamy, smooth stage. Frost cake immediately.
