I made the sheet cake and it was wonderful and light and moist. I used only 1 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. vinegar. The cream cheese filling did not cover the cake. Will double that part of the recipe next time. I added chocolate chips to the filling and marbled it in putting moist chocolate into the cake. Definitely a keeper!
