For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the batter.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter.
Don't overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, as this can result in a tough cake.
If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
A glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice adds a lovely finishing touch.
