  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, especially for dry ingredients like flour and sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for baking a perfect cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put the cake in.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the temptation to peek until the cake is almost done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.
