FAQ:
Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake the cake layers in advance and store them in an airtight container. Assemble the cake and make the ganache on the day you plan to serve it.
Can I use a different type of flour?

You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed, but the texture may differ slightly.
Can I use milk instead of buttermilk?

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to ½ cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
