FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute some or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, but keep in mind that the texture may be denser.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cake a day in advance and store it in an airtight container. Just remember to let it cool completely before covering.
What should I do if my cake is too dry?
