  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Stir in the flour and baking powder in three additions, alternating with the sour cream. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
