• The original poster recommended cream cheese frosting. I do not. For the traditional manner sprinkle with confectioners sugar in a pleasing pattern or serve plain. The cream cheese frosting makes it too rich. This is not intended to be a rich overpowering cake.
• To Veganize and it works well with this recipe: use egg sub such as EnerG in place of the egg and use a Vegan butter sub in place of the butter. To low fat use egg sub and use Take Control Light Spread in place of the butter. [I am not certain that is Vegan without checking the package but it is low fat.]. The cake is very forgiving.
