For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with melted butter, but the texture of the cake may be slightly different. This cake is best served warm, but it can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Sep 5, 2024The cake was a little dry. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more milk.
