📝 Key Ingredients You’ll Need:

*French Vanilla Cake Mix: You can make your own homemade cake, but using a box mix will save you a ton of time. *Eggs: You want to use eggs that are at room temperature. This will not only help with combining the ingredients but also prevents the recipe from breaking. *Canola Oil: Using Canola or Vegetable Oil will give the recipe a more moist texture. When combined together with eggs it will add an airy and fluffy consistency overall.
