Notes
Don't keep the batter out for too long! Since I preheat my oven for 20 minutes, I start making the batter when there is 10 minutes remaining on the timer. This way, the batter is just in time for baking. Leaving it out for too long causes a lot of reaction by the baking powder and soda and can harden the cake!
