  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Notes

  • Add citrus zest (lemon or orange) for a fresh twist.
  • Swirl in melted chocolate or cocoa powder for a chocolatey variation.
  • Top with fruit compote, glaze, or powdered sugar for serving.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid an overly dense cake.
  • Freezes well when wrapped tightly—great for make-ahead desserts.
