Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before baking. This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily and create a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling and creating a dense cake.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour and make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
