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.
