Notes

For added flavor, consider using vanilla or almond extract in the batter. You can experiment with different variations, such as adding shredded coconut or cream cheese for richness. The cake keeps well at room temperature for up to five days, or you can refrigerate it for up to a week. This cake also freezes nicely; wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.
