For an extra layer of flavor, brush the cooled cake layers with a simple syrup infused with vanilla or citrus zest before frosting. Swiss meringue buttercream provides a light and stable frosting option that complements the delicate flavor of the cake. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smooth batter. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can develop the gluten and result in a tough cake.
