Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, cream, and eggs. - Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly. - If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Be sure to work quickly so that the butter doesn't get too warm. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting. - Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sliced almonds, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
