Variations
Citrus Cream Cheese Cake
Add the zest of one lemon or orange along with the vanilla extract for a fresh, tangy flavor. Finish with a simple citrus glaze made from powdered sugar and juice.
Double Chocolate Version
Replace ¼ cup of flour with cocoa powder and fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. This creates a rich, deeply chocolatey cake with bursts of melted chocolate.
Marbled Fruit or Spice Cake
Swirl ½ cup of fruit puree (raspberry or mango) or a cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter before baking. This creates a beautiful marbled effect and adds extra flavor complexity.
