Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the butter with a healthier option?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with applesauce, Greek yogurt, or coconut oil in equal amounts. These alternatives can reduce the fat content and add moisture.
How should I store the cake after baking?
Once the cake has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
What should I do if my cake is dense and not rising properly?
If your cake is dense, it may be due to overmixing the batter or using expired baking powder. Ensure your baking powder is fresh and be gentle when mixing in the flour to keep the batter light and airy.
Recommended Drink Pairings

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This light and slightly effervescent wine complements the sweetness of the cake with its crisp acidity and fruity notes.

Beer
