Vinegar cake is a traditional recipe with its roots in the Southern cuisine of the United States, where it became popular during times when access to fresh ingredients and dairy products was limited. This cake is characterized by its slightly acidic flavor, which comes from the vinegar, and it combines perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar to achieve a unique balance. In different Latin American countries, this type of dessert may be known by different names, although the preparation with vinegar is less common. However, the influence of similar homemade recipes is reflected in desserts that use simple and accessible ingredients to create delicious sweets with a lot of history behind them.
