Vanilla Velvet Cake image

I have been making this cake for several years and it always turns out wonderful. I don't remember where I got the recipe from. If you leave the cake in a few minutes longer, it will have a pleasant buttery crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside. If you take it out a few minutes before, it will be a denser cake yet...
