- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days.
