- You can use a simple powdered sugar glaze or frosting of your choice for added sweetness.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger cake or layered cake.
