Notes
For extra moisture and flavor, brush the cooled cake with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate if in a humid area.
Consider using almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version or swapping granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a deeper flavor.
Don’t skip the room temperature step for the butter and eggs to achieve the best texture in your cake!
