Notes
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a better texture.
Do not overmix the batter; this keeps your cake tender.
For an extra touch, top your finished cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries before serving.
Use a toothpick to check for doneness; insert it into the thickest part of the cake.
