Recipe View 10 mins Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra moist cake, try brushing the cooled cake with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves.
Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification and a smoother batter.
Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tougher cake.
A combination of vanilla and almond extracts enhances the overall flavor profile, but you can adjust the amounts to your preference.
