At least not anything special. I did have to start learning to do things in the kitchen when my mom had to be outside helping my dad on the farm. But she always had detailed instructions. I like to try new recipes now.

The same as yours except she doesn't specify cider vinegar and she says to butter the pan. She's marked the recipe as "good". What's interesting is that there's no mention of chocolate.
