Notes
Use room-temperature eggs for easier separation and better incorporation.
For a richer flavor, swap margarine for butter and use whole milk. You can decorate the cake with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or serve it with whipped cream or ice cream for added delight.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate in humid weather. For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.
