Another of Magnolia Bakery's wonderful recipes. The club soda makes for a very tender cake.

Bought this book & made this cake. As an avid baker and cake decorator I had my doubts when there was no baking soda or powder. This cake was a waste of my butter & eggs. Went in the trash this morning, my family spit it out, & they eat anything! Disappointed with Magnolia's cookbook. These can't be the recipes that they were made so famous for.
