hello Jenny, just see your post and would like to ask how to bake to get a smooth top? my cake’s got a lot of bubbles and small holes…

Hi Dominic,

Sometime I had bubbles too..to what I believe the key is in the mixing. Mix the batter in high speed until thick and reduce the speed when you add butter and flour. Good luck.
