EASY SNACK CAKE



Easy Snack Cake image

I needed SOMEthing sweet for an afternoon snack and modified a shortbread recipe to come up with this. It's not chocolate, but I have used vanilla instead of lemon, omitted the peel and added about 1/2 cup chocolate chips because that was the only chocolate in the house. This is a fairly dense, hearty cake

Tips:

  • Prep All Ingredients First: Before starting, measure and prep all the ingredients. This helps ensure you have everything you need and prevents scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When possible, use room temperature ingredients, especially butter and eggs. This helps them blend together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better texture.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully regarding baking time and temperature. Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before frosting or serving, let the cake cool completely. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and makes it easier to handle.
