   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two cake pans (I usually use 9" round). Mix together 3 T. water, 3 T. oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat until well mixed, approximately 4 minutes. Pour batter into cake pans. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks.
