Higher cake
To keep a cake fresh, always
cover cut slices with plastic wrap. Cover cakes with a cake cover, or
improvise by using an inverted plastic storage container. Then,
refrigerate.
More tender cake
To make a more tender cake,
use buttermilk instead of milk. When doing this be sure to add ¼ tsp of
baking soda to the dry ingredients.
