Notes
- A stand mixer or hand mixer is preferred to make this cake batter.
- It is good if you have all the ingredients at room temperature.
- Halfway through baking, cover the cake with aluminum foil to avoid the cake from browning on top. Make sure you do not cover at the beginning, as the cake batter will stick to the foil, and the cake will not rise.
- See that you have not added too much flour to the batter, as the cake will become dense and not moist.
- If you want a more decadent cake, then increase the amount of butter to another 2 to 3 tbsp.
- If you are using salted butter, you can skip adding salt to the recipe.
