Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients 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 batter, resulting in a more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
