Notes

– Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
– If the cake seems too dry, add a few tablespoons of milk to the batter.
– Use a stand mixer to make the batter. This will ensure a light and airy texture.
– Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
– If the cake is over-browning, cover it with a piece of foil.
