There are several factors that can contribute to the moist and fluffy texture of a Dominican cake:

Butter or oil:

The use of butter or oil in the cake batter can help to create a moist and tender crumb.

 

Eggs:

The eggs in a cake recipe help to add moisture and structure to the cake. They also                            contribute to the fluffy texture of the cake.

           

Sugar:

The sugar in a cake recipe helps to retain moisture and add tenderness to the crumb.
            

Leavening agents:

Leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda help to create a light and fluffy texture in the cake by producing gas bubbles that expand as the cake bakes.
            

Mixing method:      

The mixing method used in a cake recipe can also affect the texture of the final product. For example, the "creaming" method, in which butter and sugar are beaten together until light and fluffy, can result in a cake with a light and tender crumb.

Moisture from other ingredients:

Adding ingredients such as sour cream, yogurt, or pureed fruit can help to keep the cake moist and add flavor.

By taking these factors into account, you should be able to create a moist and fluffy cake like those typically found in the Dominican Republic.
