Notes
Fancy Tips💋
- For the best flavor and texture, let the cake sit covered at room temperature overnight. The butter glaze fully absorbs, and the flavor deepens beautifully by the next day. then add more glaze to the cake .
- Always pour the glaze over the cake while it’s still hot and in the pan. This helps the glaze soak in properly and creates that signature buttery crust.
- Warm any remaining glaze slightly before pouring over the top after flipping for a glossy, bakery-style finish.
