I'm giving this recipe five stars because it was easily made vegan. While it didn't have a lot of flavor (I'll make a note to use more vanilla next time), the batter was a wonderful consistency and it baked and rose nicely. I made cupcakes and they turned out moist and fluffy. The icing I made was sweet and flavorful, so that made up for the miminal flavor in the cupcakes themselves.

I've made this twice and got very good results each time for an easy, moist and delicately flavored cake. I don't like using shortening so 1/2 cup canola oil was substituted. The first time I made the recipe, I didn't have enough milk so I used powdered buttermilk with 1 cup water and adjusted the leavening just in case to 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 1/2 tsp baking soda. We actually liked that version even better. Both times I baked them in a greased 8 X 8 pan for 40-45 minutes.
