Tips
- The reverse creaming method involves adding fat to dry ingredients first to produce a cake with a very fine crumb and tender texture.
- When adding the egg mixture, add it gradually in three parts, mixing well after each addition.
- Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar (optional).
