  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together more easily and create a more smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that it bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop and the cake will be easier to slice.
