For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. Ensure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter. To prevent the cakes from sticking, line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper rounds. Don't overmix the batter; overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher cake.
