Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce a better-tasting cake. Use real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
