For an extra moist cake, try soaking the cooled cake with a simple syrup flavored with lemon or vanilla. Be sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best results. Don't skip the sifting step! It makes a big difference in the cake's texture. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Using a combination of butter and shortening provides both flavor and a tender crumb.
