Notes
FREEZES WELL: Bake the cake, frost it and slice it up and pack in the freezer if you don't need an entire cake.
Perfect kid recipe- kids love making the indents in the cake, and when you add the vinegar it fizzes a bit because of the baking soda- would be a great time to show them the vinegar + baking soda trick!
