Recipe View Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Cooling time: 1 hour)

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.
