Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
You can dust it with powdered sugar or top it with a simple glaze.
Secrets to Ultra-Moistness:
Softened Butter: Make sure the butter is properly softened. This is essential for creating a smooth and creamy batter.
Creaming: Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly. This incorporates air into the batter, which makes the cake light and moist.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter after adding the flour can develop the gluten, making the cake tough. Mix only until the flour is just combined.
Accurate Measurements: While the “4 spoonfuls” concept is charming, for the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients accurately.
Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This allows the moisture to redistribute, resulting in a more tender cake.
Variations:
Lemon Cake: Add lemon zest and a tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter.
Vanilla Cake: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
Chocolate Cake: Replace a portion of the flour with cocoa powder.
Fruit Cake: Add diced fruit, such as apples or berries, to the batter.
Enjoy your simple and delicious cake!
