For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but the cake will be slightly less tender. To prevent the cake from sticking, ensure the pan is thoroughly greased and floured. Alternatively, use baking spray with flour. For cupcakes, fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
