• Refined sugar — If you are out of sugar or want to try something new, add maple syrup or honey to the batter. It will elevate the taste of the cake.

• All-purpose flour — If you are out of all-purpose flour, substitute with almond flour or rice flour. For a healthier option, use chickpea flour instead.
