Notes
For a softer crumb, mix only until combined and avoid overbaking. For slightly crisp edges, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze unfrosted layers tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Chill cake before slicing for tidy layers. Add lime zest, pineapple, toasted coconut, or berries for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
