The 12 tablespoons cake is a really simple and super soft cake that doesn’t require a scale to make, so it’s very, very quick to prepare, super soft and ideal for breakfasts, but also when you get hungry and crave something with a genuine taste and not too heavy. A slice is also perfect for school snacks because it’s rich in sugars that help with concentration. It’s made with oil, without butter, so it’s slightly more digestible. I flavored it with lemon, but you can choose to flavor it with vanilla if you prefer.
