Note

For best results, use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure a smooth batter.

If you do not have a tube pan, you can bake this in two 8-inch round pans, but adjust baking time to 30-35 minutes.

To make this vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based milk. Note that the texture may be slightly denser.

Store cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

This cake pairs well with a simple buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or just a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh berries.
