Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of club soda. You can also substitute the oil with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier option. If you want more texture, try adding shredded coconut or swapping in different nuts like almonds or walnuts. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to help the batter mix more evenly. Remember to check for doneness with a toothpick.
