Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cake.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Overmixing will toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the cake will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Top the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
