1 Tbsp vinegar
5 Tbsp oil

Notes
The flour mix I've been using is 1 cup sorghum, 1/2 cup potato starch and 1/4 cup tapioca starch.
Substitutions
Can replace half of oil with applesauce to make cake fluffier and less greasy.
To make this with wheat flour, reduce amount to 1 1/2 cups.

Used 1.5c all purpose flour and water because I did not have apple juice on hand. Very gingery. Nice crust on top but soft inside - might need a little more to bind it together. Excellent taste though!
I'm glad you liked it! What do you mean by "might need a little more to bind it together?" You did reduce the flour by 1/4 cup, so I'm sure that affected the texture.
