Notes
For the best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before making the cake.
Trick for melting the butter: cut the butter into small pieces and place it into the same pan where you’re going to bake your cake, and put it in the oven as it warms up while you gather and measure the other ingredients. This will save you time and you won’t have anything extra to clean, plus the pan will be greased!
