Legal cake mixes are expensive.

I threw a little cake together today at lunch and ate a piece right out of the oven. It is pretty good - but I don't think I'm thru with the recipe just yet. Here's what I did:

1 cup unbleached organic flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
egg replacer for 2 eggs
8 oz. of sierra mist free
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

I baked it in an 8 inch round pan lined with parchment paper so it wouldn't stick. (350 degrees)

Notice, no oil, no applesauce. I really didn't want the apple flavor in this - was trying for plain vanilla. It tastes good. It's a little sticky. John says it reminds him of the shortcake cups that we get during strawberry season. So maybe I'll just call this a shortcake! Yeah, that's what it is! Vanilla shortcake. LOL. It really would be good with some strawberries. If somebody takes this and works on it, I'd love for you to share your results.
