Tip van de kok: Using a baking spray with flour can make this step quicker and ensure an even coating.
- 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the batter flour, baking powder, salt, and fruit-flavored gelatin powder.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the leavening is evenly distributed for a consistent rise.

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Ongeveer 4 min
- 5
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Ongeveer 2 min

With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined.

Tip van de kok: Overmixing can develop gluten and make the cake tough, so stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear.
- 8
If using pecans, toss the chopped pieces with the designated flour in a small bowl until they are lightly coated.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Coating the nuts in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.

Place the pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool for 15 minutes before proceeding.

Ongeveer 1 uur
Tip van de kok: Wait until the cake is fully cool before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
