Tip!
Don’t overmix the batter, so don’t use a stand mixer or an electrical mixer, especially for these kinds of cakes, so the cake turns out nice and soft and isn’t stodgy. If you overmix, then the gluten can develop too much, which makes it very dense. It's better to just use a spatula or a spoon.
