Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half of the sugar with brown sugar for a richer taste. You can also use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option. If you prefer a nutty texture, add chopped walnuts or almonds to the batter. Remember to keep the batter tightly covered in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness during the six weeks.
