Recipe Tip
Water bath:
Although making the cake batter is very simple, you will want to water bath the cake when you put it in the oven. The steam from the water will help cake very soft and moist preventing from becoming too dry.
Basically, pour the batter in a 1 qt size baking pan, then put the pan in a larger pan. Pour the hot water in the large pan to come up to half the height of the pan. That will help the cake batter to stay moist while baking.
