Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you're out of milk, almond milk or oat milk can be great substitutes. Make sure to mix the batter thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps the cake rise nicely. If you prefer a nutty flavor, feel free to add chopped nuts to the batter, enhancing the texture and taste.
