Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter. If you don't have cream of sherry, white wine or apple juice can be good substitutes. Make sure to check the cake a few minutes before the suggested bake time, as ovens can vary. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk on top once cooled.
