Recipe for a white cake?

I'm looking for a recipe for a white cake that's moist. The white cake recipe i've used in the past seems to turn out sort of dry no matter what I try. I don't want to use a cake mix...I prefer to make my own. Anyone have any recipes or know anything I can try to make it more moist?Recipe for a white cake?
This cake recipe is very moist to say the least and so good. it can be made as a white cake or a chocolate cake. I will write it as a chocolate cake, but to make your white cake..leave out the cocoa. I think this is one of the BEST cakes that I have ever ate.





SHEET CAKE





Mix in a bowl


2 cups sugar


2 cups flour





In a pan, bring to a boil


1 stick butter


3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa....leave out for white cake


1 cup water


1/2 cups shortening





Then add all sugar and flour





Add 2 eggs


1/2 cup buttermilk


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon vanilla





In a SHEET CAKE PAN that has been greased and dusted pour this ';thin'; batter in and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.





After it is done and cooled, you can frost your cake.


If at all possible, keep the cake in the ice box until you serve it as it taste better COLD. It is so moist.





ICING FOR SHEET CAKE
