This cake has been made in my family ever since I can remember. It’s magical. It has vinegar and no eggs in it! You don’t even taste the vinegar, and it makes a beautiful, moist cake every time. The frosting is delectable and warrants picking at the leftovers in the pan for a day. Or two :)
I made this into cupcakes for our Sunday School class (Matt & I team teach the youth ages 12-18).

Kara,
Cousin Kara, your mom was a great cook, spent a few days with them in MO.
I will have to try this .
Hi Ray, I think you have me confused with someone else! My mom got the recipe from Isabelle when they lived in Santa Maria, CA. They did live in MO for a while too at the same time though!
Well, it’s a small world. I went to grammar and high school with Isabelle Jurinjaks daughters in Arroyo Grande California. They later moved to Santa Maria. She used to play the piano for our little grammar school programs. She was a great lady. I will have to try the cupcakes. All the best.
