Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
Variations
For a richer flavor, replace the milk with buttermilk or heavy cream. These ingredients add a subtle tangy note and extra moisture, making the cake even more tender.
You can also infuse the milk with a teaspoon of citrus zest or a little almond extract for a unique touch.
Experimenting with different extracts, such as coconut or lemon, can also give the cake a fresh and new flavor profile.
If you like chocolate, consider adding half a cup of chocolate chips or cocoa powder to transform this cake into a chocolate and vanilla marble cake.

Simply divide the batter in half, stir the cocoa into one portion, and mix everything together before baking. Another fun idea is to add sprinkles to the batter for a festive confetti cake, perfect for birthdays or parties.
For a fruity variation, arrange fresh berries or sliced peaches in the bottom of the pan before pouring in the batter. During baking, the fruit will soften and form a delicious, jam-like layer.
You can also incorporate dried fruit, such as raisins or chopped apricots, into the dough for added texture and sweetness. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to let your creativity run wild!
