This cake bakes up very, very moist, but is just right after cooling. It has a
slightly tighter crumb than the other two versions. It is not too sweet, so if you
want that supersweet, from-the-box taste, increase the sugar just a little.
As mentioned in the chapter introduction, this cake should be eaten same day.
