Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan before pouring in the batter. This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help prevent the glaze from melting and running off the cake.
