For a richer flavor, substitute strong brewed coffee for the water in the cake batter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) to the frosting for added texture and flavor. The cake can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days. Dust the cake with powdered sugar instead of frosting for a lighter dessert. If you don't have margarine, you can use melted butter or vegetable oil as a substitute, but the flavor might be slightly different.

Sep 29, 2024The frosting is a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar.
