Tips & Substitutions
For an extra moist cake, consider substituting unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil. If you don't have butter flavoring, you can skip it or use a bit more vanilla extract. To ensure even mixing, beat the batter for a full 8 minutes as suggested. This cake is also delightful dusted with powdered sugar for a simple finish, or try pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
