I was seeking a quick, inexpensive and eggless recipe for vanilla cake that I could bake to test out a couple of frostings. This worked out very well. The only things I did differently were to decrease the oil to 6 tablespoons and to bake it into mini-cupcakes (this made 24, plus about 4-5 regular cupcakes with the leftover batter). The minis were done in 12 minutes and the regular cupcakes took about 17 minutes in my oven. I have other eggless vanilla cake recipes I like better than this one, but they take more work and ingredients. This one is great for when you have a sudden cake craving. :-)
