Suggestions

  • Try swapping the vanilla extract with almond extract for a nutty twist!
  • Add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture.
  • Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
  • If you overbake the cake (oops!), brush it with some flavored syrup to bring back the moisture.
