I used 9-inch (22 cm) cake pans. Important Notes: 1. Softened butter: It should be soft but not melted. 2. Whipping the eggs: This step is crucial. It took me about 15 minutes with a hand mixer to reach the right consistency. How to check the ribbon test: ✅ Lift the beaters – the batter should flow down in a thick ribbon. ✅ The ribbon should stay visible on the surface of the batter for about 2–3 seconds before slowly disappearing. ✅ If it spreads out immediately, the eggs need more whipping. 3. Do not open the oven door for the first 15 minutes to prevent the cake from deflating. 4. If baking on multiple racks, swap the pans after 15 minutes for even baking. 5. After baking, turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and let the cakes cool gradually.
