Faq

  • What size baking pan should I use?

    A 9-inch round or square pan works best for this recipe.

  • Can I use frozen berries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the batter. 🫐

  • How do I avoid overmixing the batter?

    Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.

  • What’s the best way to zest a lemon?

    Use a fine grater or a zester tool. Make sure to only grate the yellow part and avoid the bitter white pith underneath. πŸ‹

  • Any tips for getting the perfect cake texture?

    Always preheat your oven and measure your ingredients carefully. Using room-temperature ingredients also helps achieve a smooth batter.

  • Can I add other fruits or nuts?

    Absolutely! Try adding raspberries, blackberries, or chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for additional texture and flavor. 🌰
