  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda: Old baking powder and baking soda can lose their potency, resulting in a flat cake. Make sure to check the expiration dates on your baking supplies before using them.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
