Notes
- You can also use an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan and increase your cooking time by 3 to 6 minutes.
- The vinegar is a must in this recipe, it reacts with the baking soda to give the cake the desired texture, doing the work eggs would do in other recipes. The cake does not come out tasting like vinegar!
- If there are bubbles in your wet batter, gently tap your cake pan on the counter to release the bubbles.
- Keep a close eye on the cake at the 30-minute mark as you don’t want to overbake it.
