  • To ensure the cake bakes evenly, make sure your skillet is properly preheated before adding the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter attached, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
