💡 Tips

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter, cream cheese, and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap unglazed cake tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
  • Optional Glaze: Drizzle with a glaze (1 cup powdered sugar + 2-3 tbsp pineapple juice) or dust with powdered sugar for extra flair.
