Notes
Pan choice: You can use a springform pan, tart pan, or cake pan for this recipe. If you are using a regular cake pan, add some parchment paper at the bottom of the pan to make it easier to remove the baked cake.
Salted butter: I use salted butter in most of my baking, but if you prefer to use unsalted butter, just add in 1/2 tsp of salt into the dry ingredients.
