This was excellent, and I especially liked the ease of being able to use vinegar+milk instead of buttermilk (which I never seem to have on hand!). I also only had butter flavored Crisco, which I was worried about, but this cake was so excellent (and my entire family DEVOURED it). Thank you for the recipe!
