This cake was awesome and not at all fussy!! It was very easy to put together and it was so moist. I thought it was too sweet for my taste but everyone else liked it. My only complaint is that it definitely had to stay in the oven a little longer than 35 minutes. My cake was already browning at 30 minutes and it was not even done yet. So I lowered the temperature and baked it for another 10-12 minutes and it came out perfect. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. This will be made a lot for summer barbecues.
