Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This allows them to combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the cake. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt in the recipe.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This ensures even baking and prevents the cake from sinking in the center.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This helps the frosting set properly and prevents it from sliding off the cake.
