What? No eggs?!

I'm always so proud when my fiance says that something is good, because he is such a good cook. He has his favorite cake from childhood, Betty Crocker's cherry chip cake mix with cherry frosting, which I usually make for him every year. He saw me in the kitchen and said, "What? You're making a cake from SCRATCH?". He's a little skittish about trying new things. I'm pleased to say that he liked this one so much that he asked me to make it again on his birthday!
