Suggestions
Feeling adventurous? Swap out whole milk for buttermilk for extra tanginess. Mix in some chocolate chips for a sweet surprise. Garnish with a simple dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Remember, patience is a virtue: let the cake cool completely before cutting, or it might crumble faster than your resolve around dessert!
