Notes
- Cold ingredients blend smoother, so take eggs and milks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before starting.
- Check the cake’s doneness carefully, as overbaking can make the texture dry instead of creamy.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with coconut or almond flour to maintain the rich texture.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for extra depth and crunch, which complements the cake’s silky profile.
