Recipes FAQ

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?

Yes, you can use salted butter in this recipe. Just omit the added salt.

Can I use a different type of flour?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is softened before creaming it with the sugar. This will ensure a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter once you've added the flour. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
  • If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining baking time.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing it. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
