Notes

When preparing this cake, ensure that you do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture. You can add chocolate chips or nuts for additional flavor. Adjust the sugar to your taste if you prefer a sweeter cake, and always check the cake a few minutes early to prevent overbaking, as ovens can vary.
