For an enhanced vanilla flavor, use vanilla-infused sugar, which you can make by storing a vanilla bean in a jar of sugar for a week or two. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Feel free to experiment with different frostings. A simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk also works wonderfully. Ensure your carbonated water is cold for a lighter, fluffier cake. For a chocolate version, add 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
