FAQ
Q: Can I make this cake gluten-free?
A: Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend designed for baking. Add a teaspoon of xanthan gum if your blend doesn’t already contain it to improve texture.
Q: What if I don’t have whole milk?
A: You can use 2% or skim milk, or even a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, but the cake’s texture might be slightly lighter.
Q: How do I know when the cake is perfectly baked?
A: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your cake is ready.
Q: Can I double or halve the recipe?
A: Yes, just adjust baking time accordingly. A larger cake may require more time, while cupcakes or smaller pans may bake faster.
