Tips for Success
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best mixing and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- Variations: You can use other fruit jams like strawberry or apricot, or even lemon curd for a zesty twist.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Freezing: The unfilled cake layers can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then thaw at room temperature before filling.
