Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to mix more evenly and produce a smoother cake.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature: If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and may not cook through in the center. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and may not rise properly.
- Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
