Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of coffee to the batter. You can substitute the milk with buttermilk for extra moisture and tang. If you want a lighter texture, try separating the eggs and beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. This cake pairs beautifully with Curt'S Peanut Clusters.
