FAQ:

1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter? While it’s best to use unsalted butter for better control over the amount of salt in the cake, you can use salted butter if that’s all you have. Just reduce the added salt in the recipe to 1/8 teaspoon.

2. Can I make this cake without eggs? Yes, you can substitute the eggs with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water), or try using a store-bought egg replacer. The texture may vary slightly, but it should still yield a soft and delicious cake.

3. Can I double the recipe? Yes, you can double the recipe to make a larger cake or to bake in multiple pans. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly, as it may take a bit longer to cook through.
