Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, it often tastes even better the next day after the sauce has fully soaked in.
Can I freeze it?
Absolutely. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
What if I don't have buttermilk?
You can make a substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Why is my cake dense?
Overmixing the batter can lead to a denser texture. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
