Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

9. Optional Toppings: Once the cake is completely cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar for a classic look. For a more indulgent treat, top the cake with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream, or drizzle with a simple lemon glaze.
10. Slice and Serve: Slice the cake and serve it up. Enjoy this light, airy, and delightful treat with your favorite cup of tea or coffee.

Tips for Success

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start. This helps the batter mix more evenly and results in a lighter cake.
• Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a denser cake.
• Testing for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it.
