Chef tips
To get that perfect Dutch butter cake texture, be careful not to overwork the dough—stop as soon as the butter is fully incorporated. Let it cool completely before slicing so it sets properly and stays incredibly soft. Add a dash of high-quality almond extract for extra flavor. Let the kids help by using a fork to create the classic diamond pattern on top before baking—they'll love being part of making this festive treat!
