Simple Vegan Vanilla Cake
Try to have your oil at room temperature and aerate your flour before measuring. This was not an easy recipe to perfect so for a good result, do not make any changes. - Jenny Jones

Too much sugar? I tried using less sugar but it did not turn out.
Use a different pan? I tried an 8-inch round pan and it did not turn out.

Jenny,
Can you substitute lemon juice instead of vinegar?
Thank You
