Notes

For the best results, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix them. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and even baking. Don't overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid a dense cake. You can also add some toasted coconut flakes on top for extra texture and flavor.
