Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure they blend together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it. This will help aerate the flour and ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • 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 prevent the frosting from melting.
