Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven is crucial for a successful cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put your cake in.
- Don't Open the Oven Door: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the temptation to peek!
- Let Your Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate your cake, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from falling apart.
