  • Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg enhances the cake's flavor and warmth.
  • Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar provides a balanced sweetness and moist texture.
  • For a crispier texture, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of the batter before baking.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking, grease the baking pan thoroughly or use parchment paper.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps it set properly and maintain its shape.
