Tips & Substitutions
For a moister cake, consider adding a mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce as a substitute for some of the water. If you don't have brown sugar, you can use white sugar with a bit of molasses to mimic the flavor. Make sure to mix the dry ingredients well before adding wet to ensure even distribution of baking soda.
