Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
