Notes
Use Room Temp Ingredients – Ensures smooth mixing and even baking.
Don’t Overmix – Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake light.
Let It Cool – Wait until fully cooled before adding frosting to prevent melting.
Taste Your Sweetener – Some sugar substitutes are sweeter or have aftertastes, so adjust to preference.
Add Moisture – Greek yogurt keeps the cake from being dry, especially with coconut flour.
