Proper Measuring: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially for baking. This will ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before using them. This will help them mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for creating a moist and flavorful cake. Make sure to cream them for at least 2-3 minutes.
