Excel Formula for counting a specific character in a Cell?

I want to count how many occurrences of a certain character exist in a column of Excel data.
For example, if I want to count Ampersands (&) and I have this:
        A
Cars & Trucks & Engines
Cars & Trucks
I want to end up with this
        A                                               B
Cars & Trucks & Engines              2
Cars & Trucks                                  1

Is there a formula (or another method) that can do this?
