For an intensified strawberry flavor, consider adding finely diced fresh strawberries to the batter.
Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better emulsification.
Sifting the cake flour is crucial for a light and airy texture.
To prevent sticking, line the bottom of your cake pans with parchment paper rounds in addition to greasing and flouring.
This cake pairs beautifully with a cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or a decadent chocolate ganache.
