cake recipe for fondant decorating?

I need a cake recipe that I can use for fondant decorating. I tried a cake box, but it wasn't strong, and fell apart before I put all the butter cream on. I would prefer a vanilla recipe. If you know how it tastes or have used it before please tell me about it! Thanks :)

    I have used this recipe for many years, it is a good cake and is not too fluffy.

    YELLOW CAKE

    This recipe is a good all-purpose recipe. It is easy and fast to make. It does not have a real distinct flavor so it goes well with all icings and fillings. It has a nice even texture. It uses only basic ingredients which everyone has on their shelves.

    2 cups all purpose flour

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    3/4 teaspoon salt

    2/3 cup butter

    1 1/4 cups sugar

    2/3 cup milk

    1 teaspoon vanilla

    3 eggs

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well Add all remaining cake ingredients. Beat at low speed for 30 seconds. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pans.

    Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    For my 11x8 sheet pan, I bake it for 35 to 40 minutes
