Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round pans with baking spray.
Blend cake mix, water, eggs and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.
Pour batter evenly into pans and bake for 24 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool cakes in pans on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and cool cakes completely on wire rack.
Once cooled, place bottom cake layer on serving plate or cake stand. Frost cake with layer of frosting about 1/8-inch-thick. Place top cake layer on top of frosting, then frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
For an easy decoration, use the back of a spoon to make swoops in the frosting. Make some impressions with the spoon and draw it out to create peaks and valleys in the frosting. If frosting is sticking to the spoon, dip it in hot water and then dry it off to heat it up just enough to smooth the frosting.
