Notes
SUBSTITUTION NOTES:
* Not yet tested in our kitchen, but a reader suggested that you may substitute 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce for the 3 Eggs. We also recommend adding 1 1/2 Tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder to the Dry Mix if you do.
** If you opt to use Milk or a Milk Alternative in place of Buttermilk, add 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar to your wet mixture.
This Cake Batter can also be used to make Vanilla Cupcakes. You will need to adjust your baking time accordingly. Typically 18-22 minutes, but test with toothpick before removing from oven.
