Tips:
- Before you start baking, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the batter mix more evenly and create a smoother cake.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
- Don't 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. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
