One of the keys to ensuring that this cake remains moist is in the preparation of the batter. The recipe includes ingredients like Greek yogurt, milk, and unsalted butter, all of which contribute to the moisture content of the cake. It’s crucial to use room temperature ingredients, as this helps them to blend more easily so you can avoid overmixing. If you overmix the batter you’ll develop the gluten too much and end up with a dense, dry cake. When adding the eggs, yogurt, almond flour, flour mixture, and milk, do so gradually and mix just until each addition is incorporated. This helps maintain the tender crumb of the cake.

Additionally, the baking time and temperature are essential factors. Bake the cake at 325 F as directed, and start checking for doneness around the 20-minute mark. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean. Overbaking is a common reason for dryness in cakes, so monitor the process carefully towards the end of the baking time. Finally, let the cake cool in the pan, which allows it to reabsorb some of the steam it released while baking, further retaining the moisture.
