For an extra moist cake, brush the warm cake with a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, simmered until sugar dissolves) after inverting it. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a smoother batter. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can develop the gluten and result in a tougher cake. Adjust baking time based on your oven. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Try adding a glaze after the cake has cooled completely for added sweetness and visual appeal.
