Notes
Eggs and sugar should be beaten on low speed, never on high speed. When adding the flour mix on low speed.If you are having trouble with this cake, a reader mentioned beating the flour into the mixture by hand instead of with a mixer. A whisk or spatula would work for this.Store the cooled baked cake at room temperate either wrapped in plastic or in a covered cake container. It will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature. You can also store the cake in the fridge, just be sure to make it airtight or it will dry out, it will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge, bring it to room temperature before serving.Freeze the cake once it is completely cooled, double wrap it with either foil or plastic wrap and then place in a freezer safe bag.
