🍰 The Cake That’s Worth Baking Three Times a Week: A Delightful Treat Everyone Begs For
You ever make something “just to try it,” and suddenly the whole house is acting like you’ve unlocked a secret bakery in your kitchen? That’s exactly what happened with this cake. The first time I baked it, it was gone before it even cooled. The second time, my neighbor smelled it through the window and asked if I had “just a tiny slice.” By the third time, my family wasn’t even pretending anymore—they simply said, “Make that cake again.”
This recipe has officially become the dessert I don’t mind making multiple times a week, because not only is it ridiculously simple, but it’s soft, moist, buttery, and tastes like it came straight from a cozy countryside café. If you want a dessert that’s impressive enough for guests but easy enough for any night of the week, this is it.
