How to Make 1940S Vinegar Cake Egg Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7-inch round cake tin or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let the mixture fizz for a few minutes.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients (milk mixture) to the creamed margarine and sugar, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in your choice of add-ins (see suggestions below).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared cake tin or muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Bake muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake or muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
