Tips:
- To achieve a moist and tender crumb, ensure the butter and buttermilk are at room temperature before combining them with the other ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the cake with melted butter before baking.
- To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and will make it easier to slice.
