∙ 15y agobaking it at the correct temperature and for the correct time will make a cake moist, which is the desirable way to have your cake. if left over for 2 or 3 days the cake will lose moisture and get dry and stale and that's the way to have it with a cold glass of milk
This is true, in my experience moist cakes contain more fat ie butter or oil, these can not evaporate when the cake is cooking and so are retained in the cooked cake and make it moist.

Can you add oil or milk to make a cake more moist?
Yes. Whenever I make a cake that calls for water, I always replace the water with milk. This makes for a more moist cake.

I would start by substituting milk for any water in the recipe, and see if you notice a difference.
