FAQ:
1. Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes! You can use cake flour for a softer texture or whole wheat flour for a denser, nuttier flavor. Be sure to adjust the amount of liquid accordingly, as whole wheat flour can absorb more moisture.

Absolutely! This cake stays moist for days and actually tastes better after a day or two as the flavors meld together. Make it ahead of time and store it at room temperature for the best results.
3. Can I make this cake gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour. Just make sure to check the proportions and any additional ingredients needed for the best results.
4. Can I add frosting to this cake?
Yes! This cake is fantastic on its own, but frosting like cream cheese frosting, buttercream, or even whipped cream will make it even more indulgent.
