Tips:

  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the flour to the batter, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
