Cooking with Kids?
This is a great recipe to make with children. Get them to help with the weighing and measuring. Kids love to help mixing up the cake too. Just ensure caution is taken when placing in and taking out of the oven.
Is it Vegan?
This recipe is not suitable for people following a vegan diet as it contains eggs and margarine. I haven’t tested the recipe with an egg substitute, but you are welcome to try it and let me know how you get one and what egg substitute you used.
Do I need any specialist equipment?
A mixer can help with making the cake batter but it is not essential.
