Tips & Substitutions
For a moist cake, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the white cake mix with a homemade version using flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt if preferred. Consider using a flavored oil like almond or coconut for a unique twist. If you don't have blackberry or peach wine, any fruity wine will work well.
