What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  1. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can result in a tough and dense cake.
  2. Make sure to properly swirl the batter in the pan to create a marbled effect – don’t over-swirl or the colors will blend together too much.
  3. Do not overbake the cake, as it can become dry. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center.
  4. Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for best results in creaming with the sugar.
