Tips:

  • Prep your Ingredients: Always measure and prep all ingredients before starting to ensure smooth baking.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients, especially butter, eggs, and milk. They blend more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better texture.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix until just combined and avoid overbeating.
  • Grease and Flour your Pan: Ensure your baking pan is well-greased and floured to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Accurate Measuring: Use accurate measuring cups and spoons for precise measurements. This ensures the correct proportions of ingredients for a successful cake.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Avoid overbaking as it can dry out the cake.
  • Let it Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake set properly and prevents it from falling apart.
