- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
- Use European-style butter if available — it has a higher fat content and enhances the cake’s rich flavor.
- This cake is traditionally served plain, but you can pair it with raspberry jam, fresh berries, or whipped cream for a modern twist.
- It stores well at room temperature for 3–4 days and can be frozen for up to a month.
