Notes

Always grease and flour your pan, even if it's nonstick, to prevent sticking. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before pouring into the pan to achieve a smoother texture. Don’t rush the cooling process to prevent cracks. Feel free to add frosting, fruits, or toppings of your choice to customize your cake!
