½ cup (160g) light corn syrup
⅓ cup (80ml) water
1 tsp white vinegar
⅛ tsp cream of tartar
1½ tsp baking soda
For the vanilla cake layers:
3⅓ cups (430g) flour

Recipe is from nicolaalamb’s book, Sift. It’s not my recipe to share but luckily she shared a nearly identical recipe on substack (tip: 2X the recipe to have enough to frost a 3-layer 8” cake).
