Notes
Always measure your ingredients accurately; baking is a science and small errors can affect results.
Use room temperature ingredients for better blending.
For an extra flavor boost, brush the cooled cake with simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water to keep it moist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate in warmer climates. For longer preservation, wrap and freeze slices individually.
Don’t rush the cooling process—patience is key to a perfect cake!
