Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure they blend together properly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be sure to measure the sour cream accurately. Too much sour cream can make the cake dense and heavy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, chewy cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not 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.
