FAQ:

Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter, but the flavor and texture may be slightly different. Butter tends to give a richer taste and a more tender crumb.

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may make the cake denser. If you prefer a lighter texture, consider using half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour.
