what does the vinegar do for the cake ?? or does it come out in the flavor??
thanks

I do very little pastry cooking.
I read this and the idea sounded strange.
You cannot taste the vinegar.
I made one the middle of december.
I was told you cannot get this from a box.
Better half had me make two for christmas get togethers.
