For an extra depth of flavor, try using dark raisins or adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have shortening on hand, vegetable oil can be used as a substitute, but it may slightly alter the cake's texture. This cake tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
