  • I've made that cake for years (we were vegan) and it is so yummy! You can make it right in the 13x9 pan and save yourself the extra dishes. Just mix all the dry ingredients in the pan, make three wells in the dry mix. Add the vinegar into one, oil in one, and vanilla in one (I always add vanilla to my baked goods.) Whisk it all together and pop in the oven. Great, now I'm hungry for cake.

    Yessame here, lol!

    ETA: I also sometimes devide it between two round pans to make a layer cake.

  • Any thoughts on what I could use instead of Crisco in the icing?  Crisco has soybean oil in it, and M can't have that.  I really want to make this cake!  My birthday is next week, and there's no way I'm not having cake.
